Memorial Day Weekend

It was a beautiful holiday weekend in Seattle! We enjoyed summer-like weather, and Grandma Pam (Brian's mom) came to visit.

Saturday morning walk to our favorite neighborhood bakery

Cousins

Brian's sister Jenny, her husband Jamey and their daughter Remedios - 6 months ("Remy") drove up from Southern Oregon to meet Owen. Remy is Owen's first (and currently his only) cousin. It was so much fun to have the two cousins together, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Jenny and Jamey!

Owen's first weeks at home

Owen has been home for two and a half weeks and has settled in well. He is a good eater and sleeper and we are enjoying increasing amounts of "alert/awake" time. Owen is truly a joy!

Thank you to all of you who have come to visit him or have sent your well wishes. He is truly blessed to have such loving family and friends.
