Three years ago today....

.....a handsome little man was born.

Happy Birthday Owen Michael. Owen is our undeniably cute and super feisty kid. He always has some delightful phrase coming out of his mouth. Such as when he had just turned two and he would say "I can't my back hurts" when we would ask to do something he didn't want to do. He was a very early and very good talker and therefore has always seed a bit older. He also loves things. By that I mean be gets attached to stuff easily. At any given time in his bed you could find his blanky (always), this favorite doggy stuffed animals(two of them), a few T-shirts(I have to put his clothes away quickly to avoid this), trucks, cars, motorcycles, and balls (of all sizes). And I can't stress enough how much Owen love shoes. At one time we went through a phase were he would wear his shoes during his nap(pick your battles). He has two favorite stride rite pairs that he must always wear. And if you say hi to him at the store will most definitely start to tell you about the color of his tennis shoes.

He is the middle child so he has to have the wild side to make sure he gets an adequate amount of attention. He loves to throw rocks in the Maumee River with his dad, wrestle, and play basketball(he's all boy). Seriously, this kid can dribble like no other. He was equal to Ashton by 18 months and he keeps getting better. A star in the making.

He is also a great big brother. Between the silliness to make Carly laugh and the roughhousing to make Carly tough, what more could I ask for. And poor Ashton took several beatings during Owen's hitting phase.

He is a charming little man.
