owen robert...

owen robert: we are overwhelmingly proud and honored to introduce our new godson, owen robert. Our family traveled to st. paul today to celebrate in owen's baptism. It was a beautiful service to fit such a little miracle in paul and laurie's lives (as well as our own...i have already joked that owen is the little boy i never had). Afterwards, we had a lovely lunch at paul and laurie's new home in cottage grove. My parents also attended the baptism and helped out with the girls.

It was definitely a day blessed by God!

i'll tumble for ya: liv had "show off night" tonight at gymnastics. Parents and family members are able to come into class and watch their children. Bobby and I had a great time watching Livia and her friend, Carly.
