Welcome Home Owen

Our New Family

Here's a video of the first time Benson saw (and held) Owen. Benson's obviously not very thrilled. (Press pause on the music player to the left)

Welcome Home Owen


Here are some pictures of Benson when he was born and Owen, so we can see the similarities and differences in them.

First Bath at Home....
Owen didn't really like it---of course.

But he didn't mind getting his hair washed.

Oh, so relaxing!

Wonderful Grandma Gunther!
Grandma Gunther kept Benson at her house while we were in the hospital (for 4 days). And now she is staying at our house to help me take care of Benson and Owen. She's a lifesaver! What would I do without her? We're going to miss her when she leaves tomorrow.

Poor, poor Benson.
Benson has a cold so he hasn't been able to hold Owen---which is driving him crazy. Benson also likes to get in everything he shouldn't---like Owen's Moses basket and his bouncer. Poor guy---all he hears is "Benson don't do that"----or "Benson get out of there." He is getting better. Hopefully he'll get over his cold soon and hopefully Owen won't get it.

Benson was sharing his toys with Owen (you can see the ball right by Owen's head). Benson then decided he'd play catch with his little brother and threw one right at him. Luckily, it didn't hurt. Benson had to go right to time-out. When time-out was over Benson went up to Owen to give him a hug and say sorry. I shouldn't have let him, since he's sick, but it was too cute. How sweet is that!

Here's a video of Owen with the hiccups.

Thanks for checking out this long blog. I've been trying to do it for the last week, but each day passes so quickly and I never get it done.
You are all welcome to come and visit. Owen would love to meet you.
