8 weeks old











Month #2

Great-great Auntie Terry and Charlie. 97 years between the two of them!

Charlie loved to smile for Auntie Terry..she sang and talked to him and he loved it!

Cousins George and Ben with Charlie.




Month #2!!

Charlie is Baptized! Father blessed Charlie with the oild (and gooped it ALL over his head!)

And the blessed water. He didn't cry! The priest didn't dry his hair enough though!
Parents, Grandparents, and Godparents.



Mom, Dad and Charlie Owen. Look at his hair!

1 month old continued!

My little one is 1 month old and a whole 10 pounds!!!! No more pictures mom!!
Chilling in the stroller.... The hat is from the hospital.. volunteers knit and donate them to the new moms!

One Month Old!!


Hard to believe this little one was inside my belly!


A walk in November.... what a blessing! We were able to take about 6 walks this fall. I never thought we'd get the stroller out until the spring. Charlie sleeps the whole time. Good exercise for mom....and dad too!

October 19th...The Day our Lives Changed Forever

This picture was taken 24 hours before our little one entered the world.
On the way to the hospital. Smiling, although apprehensive! The contactions are tolerable at this point....about 5 mintutes apart. Still had to go through rush hour to get to the hospital!


Nine hours later, Charlie was born! 8 pounds 4 oz 20 1/2 inches! No wonder the belly was so big! Happy Birthday Charlie Owen!!


Proud papa!


What a day! Mom, Delanie, and Kirk were great coaches....Dad too :) Todd came to see
his new nephew right away

So, my total exhaustion shows on my face. Kirk and I rode the gondolla across the fair to give my feet, back, legs.... a rest. Sorry, think all the makeup is gone too :)
We had to take a picture at the miracle of birth center..two preggos. Me at 32 weeks, Amber at 19 weeks.

32 plus weeks....and counting!


Wow! This has definately been a month of a lot of growing and growing pains to go along with it! I totally get the pregnant waddle now...for me it's more the waddle of a full bladder or a sore back. That's the new fun one...legs and back aching so bad, anything that resembles a bench or chair has my bum on it everywhere I go. I leaned against a pole at Menards today and some 50 year old guy tried to hit on me...guess he loves huge pregnant bellies! Kirk says he can't leave me alone anywhere :)
The little one is doing a lot of acrobatics now..belly definately looks likes an alien is about to pop out...I love it though... although I very much look forward to wearing normal clothes and fitting through spaces without my belly getting in the way! 7 more weeks till the due date!
State Fair tomorrow, wish my legs and my back luck!!
