Happy Birthday!

Happy 1st birthday to 2nd cousin Emma!!  Owen hasn't actually got to meet Emma, because Emma lives in Lesotho, Africa with her mommy and daddy (how cool is that!?!?).  Her daddy is a pilot with an organization called Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF).  You can read more about them and their African adventure on their blog.   Justin, Owen, and I are totally going to visit them sometime.  What a great way to see Africa when you can mooch off family :)

So, I haven't updated the blog in a while, because Owen has been keeping my hands VERY full.  He has apparently decided he doesn't like to take naps while laying down.  So, instead he takes them IN MY ARMS.  Very conducive for getting things done around the house.  I think I went about 5 weeks without getting laundry done.  We are really working on a solution for that.  I actually do have a lot to update.  Owen had his 4 month appointment, and is growing like a weed.  He has started eating cereal!!  Maybe one of these days, some pictures will get posted :)

You are right - what a great way to see Africa and to meet cousin Emma. It will be wonderful to get them together. It is amazing that Emma is 1 year old and I can't believe Owen is almost 5 months old. What a sweet picture of him. :)
