Our sweet boy ready to party

O loves his Auntie-Am!
Hugs for Poppa! I think this may have been his favorite gift - from none other than Parrain Alex (aka "Nonkey") and Aunt Dee. He points to it and says "bi" (I think) and wants to sit on it and ring the bell every time he sees it!

Christopher had a great time helping Owen open his presents

Owen was really only interested in the first present we opened at gift time

Life's a party!We had a great time and as I've said (too) many times before - it's going way too fast but it's lots of fun. A year ago today I was having my own "Labor Day" and while that one ended on a really high note, I have to say that this Labor Day is much more comfortable! Today we took Owen and Ben to the zoo here in town - thanks Paula and Ronnie! They both had lots of fun and now Owen is napping and mommy is getting a little coffee and computer time!

Tomorrow our boy turns one and I'm just amazed that we have him here with us. Three years ago I never thought we'd have this day - life is something!

Thank you to everyone who helped bake, cook, setup, and celebrate Owen's birthday with us. It would not have been the same without ALL of you.
