So Blessed To Have Family

I never made it on our blog to post that my sister and brother in law had their first baby January 3rd of this year. They named him Owen Nicholas and he is just the cutest baby boy! Our family of 4 missed his special arrival day by just 5 days after we flew back home from Christmas. My sister had the opportunity to fly out on March 14th with little Owen to spend a few days with us so we could finally meet him in person and we're so glad that they did!

We had so much fun with them here. Owen is such a great baby. I loved being able to see my sister again and to finally be able to hold Owen. I know that both of the girls also loved having their cousin and Auntie around. Just see for yourself...

Both Aubrey and Jocelyn loved having a baby in the home. They were big helpers and whenever Owen cried (which wasn't often) Jocelyn would run over and try to calm him, whether with his blanket, finding his pacifier, or playing him music from her toys. So cute to see them love him so much. We were really happy to have them come visit but really sad to see them go. Bitter sweet moment I guess you could say. We really look forward to seeing them again and we're grateful for the opportunity to have them out and stay with us. And a note to Uncle Nick...while Jocelyn still isn't able to say your name yet, you were still missed by us all. :) Thank you for sharing them with us. You guys are always welcome here - and hey, maybe next time we'll finally go see some history here in Virginia!
