Owen, circa 1975?

If you are wondering...the sweatband says 'dodgeball'. I hope you get that it's supposed to resemble a Polaroid picture. I love this pic of him...it makes me laugh everytime. I know..I know...it's been entirely too long (over a month since I last posted). I just relocated to a new office that has a gallery space, workroom for our Committees and then my office. Not only that....I had a conference in South Beach for 4 days and then Jen flew down and we had a little vacation for 3 more days. Needless to say, it's been chaotic lately...leaving no blog time. Now on to the good stuff: Owen, his cousins and his new friends.

Since the last post, we've had a lot of summer fun with friends and family.

Brian and Nikki were in town for a wedding so, we got to spend an entire Saturday with our sweet little niece Ava. It was a nice treat for us all. Look at her dimply smile...too cute!





Look at the love...how sweet. Not only cousins but they are still best friends!

The following weekend my mom, Terra and nephew Rigo all came up from Missouri to hang out with Owen. Kris had a couple days off so they kept Owen during the day. I ended up taking some time off to spend with them while they were here. It kind of defeated the purpose but........


how could I resist this?



What a sweetheart. I wish that he lived closer so that him and Owen could grow up together. They had a lot of fun together even though Owen always wanted whatever Rigo was playing with at the time. Click on this photo of them playing to enlarge it...it is pretty funny.








Here is a pic of Owen hanging out in a hammock with his big cousin Kiana. Owen is excited because Kiana and her sister Kayla are coming over tomorrow to go swimming and to stay all night!

Enough with family business. Owen has a new little friend named Giancarlo! So sweet! Owen is really excited to see Giancarlo again soon.
