Heeeerrrre's Owen! Four You!

Today our youngest grandson, Owie, is four years old!

Owen, here are some great balloons to help you celebrate!

Happy Birthday, Owen!
Which color do you like best of these balloons?

Flying down this big tube looks like fun!

Owen graduated from pre-school a few weeks ago.
His mom said he really enjoyed school!

Just last summer Owen and I had a really sweet bonding experience. He has grown up so much this year. I think this was the first time he and I had been together without Mom or Dad right there. So when he needed a little rest at the park he came over to me and let me hold him and snuggled right up. That was the first time and it made me so happy. I had held him other times but for just a few seconds. This was a nice long, I know you are my Gramma and you love me kind of a snuggle. Definitely made my day!

Banilla Cake for Owie!

This is what Mommy had to say about Owen:

*He just finished his first year of preschool and loved it! *He was fearless at his first ice skating lesson last week. *For his birthday dinner he said he wanted chips, lemonade and banilla (vanilla) cake. *He’s a great helper *He still has a limited number of things he will eat, claiming “he’ll eat (fill in the blank) when he’s bigger.”

This is what Daddy said about Owen:

Owen is an early riser. He loves to come up the stairs half asleep in the morning for his hugs. He is very cuddly when he is sleepy. When he is fully awake he spends most of his time trying to keep up with the big kids by being a big boy!

I love to talk to Owen on the phone because he really wants to talk. If he gets prompted to say good-bye and he is not done talking he will tell you. But when he's done, he's done!

Owen, we hope you have a very fun birthday and get some fun presents! We love you very much and cannot wait to see you soon! We hope you got your chips for dinner!

All our love, Grampa and Gramma
XOXOXOXO and one to grow on XO
