the big chair

I've been dying to get our picture taken in the big chair on the Terrace and we finally did it! I wanted to do it pregnant, but by the time I thought of it, I couldn't physically climb up there. I hope we'll remember to take a picture every year so we can watch how Owen grows in relation to the chair!

Food, glorious food!
We took Owen to some of our favorite NC eatin' spots. Too bad he couldn't partake!

Allen and Son Barbeque

Chubby's Tacos


Shiki Sushi!

In addition to meeting new friends, Owen spent time with those family members he had already come to know and love.

Owen met so many new friends on his first trip to North Carolina in August.

Uncle Andy,

 and Amber

And he did such a great job in the car - 16 hours + each way!

Two things Owen really loves: his dad and his pacifier.

kittens and baby

Lucy and Sam love Owen! Sam likes to be nearby...

...and Lucy brings Owen rat toys as presents!

baby friends

Our friends' baby, Hazel, LOVES to look at Owen!

 Owen, however, isn't old enough to be interested in girls. Yawn...
