Jack-o-whut-erns?

Halloween is Owen's last "first" holiday. He's been through 'em all once so far, except for this last hurrah.

Mom and Owen were showing off Owen's 'perfect sized' pumpkin. Owen isn't quite sure what good they are... but he'll check things out.

Success! With candles ablaze, all three gourds glowed gloriously.

Happy Birthday Great-Grandpa John!

Owen and Grandpa helped Great-grandpa John blow out his birthday candles last weekend. Happy Birthday!

Does anyone know who else has a birthday coming up?

Owen 'consumes' a NR special publication

The News-Review published Our Town today, an annual special publication.

Owen thought it was special. He enjoyed it more than any of the adults in the family ever have...

Punkin slideshow!

Here are the rest of the photos from punkin huntin. Enjoy!

Punkins!

Owen, Sophie and Taylor all got punkins today... Woo-hoo! Note: Their punkins are the three in front, not the two big 'hand rail' punkins. What a nice day down in the punkin patch!

Tractor rides...

They are sooooooo much fun!

A New Skill...

Well, we just returned from a trip to OHSU (Portland) and thought Owen might want a bit of a snack before bed. So, we set him down to eat, and he decided he ought to feed himself. His accuracy might need a bit of work, but he did a great job.

Escape!

Owen found the escape hatch at Mimi's house.

Bliss...

After a hard day of being 11 months old, a little guy deserves some down time.

Owen: The Epic

This movie has it all. Excitement, laughter, heartache, illness, drama, and action. Does it get any better?

Owen debates...

Yes, it's debate season, and Owen is debating the merits between walking and crawling.

Yes, that's the Presidential debate in the background. It's too bad they don't have more important things to talk about. Like, the tough decisions between walking and crawling.

He walks!

Announcement: Owen is mobile with feet only.

Next: Running.

Owen in disguise

You may not notice, but that bear is actually Mr. Owen. While in Bend, it was fairly cool for the morning walks, so Owen had to snuggle into this great bear suit that Grandpa D got him. Thanks Grandpa!
