Two amazing things happened for me last night. First, I’ve been praying that Owen would learn to sleep by me on the nights when he wakes to be fed. Up to now, I’ve felt a little like I’m in a wrestling match. He wiggles and crawls, pulls hair and is pretty much impossible to sleep with- it has made for…

Owen

Tracy / February 24, 2015

Owen at 10 months… Decided in about a week and a half he could sit on his own, pull himself anywhere, then started crawling. Pulls himself up on the side of his bed. Plays in the walker but “carries” it while he’s walking (he doesn’t technically need it anymore but he hasn’t figured this out yet :D). He says “uh-oh”…

Owen’s Bunny

Tracy / January 3, 2015

He has a big sister who loves him a great deal and worked very hard to make this little guy a special bunny for Christmas. He *loves* it!

This Boy…

Tracy / November 29, 2014

He melts my heart! Seeing little faces smiling at you and looking super-cute never gets old!

Owen at Four Months

Tracy / September 10, 2014

This is just one of many moments when I am so terribly thankful I didn’t stop having babies when folks began to tell me I was too old. 😀 Owen, at four months, is a joyful baby. He has been rolling himself over for a couple of months. He adores anything he can chew on, or can fit in his…

Owen’s Photos

Tracy / August 19, 2014

I gave up studio photos many years back when I realized Courtney’s photos were actually better than the ones I was paying to have taken! We’ve learned a few things: It would be nice to have a bean bag for little babies.  They slouch and move.  A bean bag would just make things MUCH easier.  If you live close and…

Owen’s Baby Celebration

For Thou, O LORD, hast made me glad by what Thou hast done, I will sing for joy at the works of Thy hands. Psalm 92:4 Our church is always thoughtful to throw each new mama and baby a shower to welcome them to the world. (Yes, even a 13th baby!!) These are a few photos from the shower given…

Very Special Gift

Owen’s new Bible is back from being engraved. It’s a special gift from a very special person in his life.

Adjusting to New Baby and New Job

Jacob’s new job seems to be going very well. He likes the men he is working with and he likes the work. I guess that is a good thing. He comes home very tired each day but is always happy to be up and facing the next new morning. It’s a blessing to like the job you do! Please keep…

Owen Elias

I’ve not posted many photos from Owen’s birth. Something little (like having a newborn, helping one son buy a house while setting up a second for his new job, FIL having open-heart surgery, and closing Mama’s final affairs, etc.), has kept me from having time to keep posting. Such is life sometimes. In any case…these are photos from baby day.…
