Happy Anniversary Carl and Amanda.
We hope that you have a WONDERFUL day.
Love you both.

May the memories you cherish
And the joys that you recall
Help make this anniversary day

And may these truly happy years
Of seeing dreams come true
Be a promise of still greater joy
In the years ahead of you!

Thank You!

Freedom of the Press.
It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us
Freedom of Speech.
It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the
Freedom to Demonstrate.
It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the
Right to a Fair Trial.
It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and
whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who gives the protester the right to burn the flag.

Owen is 3 months!

So our little guy is now three months old! We have to admit, it is going by WAY too fast.

It has been such a privilege to witness him grow, develop, learn (smile, eat, hold his head up), etc. Sure, all this may sound a tad cheesy, but we really love to watch him tackle all of the milestones!

Anyway, here's a small list of some of the cute/new things that Owen has been up to recently.

Heartfelt conversations. Well, more like heartmelt conversations!! Lately Owen has been much more vocal in a very intentional way. He looks at you, opens his little mouth, and makes the sweetest sing-song noises. It seems like he's learning how to exercise voice inflection. He'll also make noises in reaction to his Daddy, Mommy or big brother!

Owen also...
* smiles and laughs!
* recognizes faces
* visually tracks moving objects
* recognizes voices
* vocalizes: squeals and gurgles
* coos when you talk to him
* blows bubbles
* holds head steady
* lifts head and shoulders (for a short period) when lying on tummy
* can bring hands together: bats at his toys
* sucks his thumb!

Owen likes to watch his big brother during the day…and for the most part seems unaffected by his squeezes (”I want to hug Owie!“) and pinches (”I want to hold Owie!”) and squeals

We have a feeling that the two are going to be the best of friends.

Owen LOVES to be outside, he loves going for a walk and watching his brother play at the park.
