Road Trip to Oregon

Last weekend Owen took his first road trip...or overnight trip of any kind, for that matter! We headed to Oregon to introduce Owen to additional family members and to many of our Oregon friends. Our parents joined together and hosted an Open House on Sunday at Linnea's parent's house, and we were privileged with over 100 people who came by to say hello and meet Owen! We feel truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who join us in celebrating Owen's arrival, and for all the love and support they give so generously to our family.

Loading the car for the trip.

Owen was given his own little travel bag, with his name embroidered! Too cute!

Owen slept the whole way (whew!)

Once we arrived, he enjoyed some snuggle time with Grandpa Clark.

This weekend was also Grandpa Clark's birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad!

The flowers and yard look wonderful, mom!

Owen can't take his eyes off him! So cute!

Owen did so well being passed around and meeting all the new people!

Here he's comfortably snuggling in the arms of Mary Gene Atwood

Thank you to all of our friends and family who were able to come meet Owen!

What a great weekend!
