Zoe's Baptism & Owens' 3rd Birthday

After spending three weeks in St. Louis after Zoe's birth and enjoying the somewhat spring-like weather they enjoy while we are freezing up north, we did indeed return to Indiana Winter.

But early in March we headed south again for two important events--

Zoe's Baptism

and Owen's Third Birthday

We headed back to Indiana once again,

hoping--just hoping that maybe Spring was on its way.

Just a Little Catching Up - New Arrivals Jan. 2009

This has been a very busy year so far, so I guess the best place to start is at the beginning.

An old friend from last summer stopped by for a while.

A Purple Finch

The "Best Arrival of All" came near the end of the month--A New Granddaughter!
We spent three weeks in Saint Louis following her birth.

Here is baby Zoe when she came home from the hospital.

This is big brother, Owen, holding his new sister for the first time.

And here is the whole happy family.

Grandpa and I did get to do some neat things with Owen while we were there--like visiting some of the neat playgrounds nearby.

We also were able to hold Zoe once in a while.
