Owen's front teeth have made an appearance!

the best picture I could get away with

Some random pictures from October.  This month flew by, with both kids alternating who was sick but ensuring we never had a fully healthy week.  Now that it's November, they passed the germs on to Richard.

Owen's front tooth finally broke through, and its neighbor peeked out a couple of days ago.  Ben was so excited for him "Now Owen can eat corn on the cob!" he said.

Owen got a couple of model rockets for his Christmas gift from Uncle Steve.  He's been "flying" them around the house since then, but finally was ready to launch them for real..  Richard and Owen got them put together, and brought them to a Adair Park.  Owen put the rockets on the launch pad, Richard put in the ignitor, and they launched it up.  Both went really high, and both were recovered safely.  They went much higher then Owen had expected.

Owen is now a Tiger Cubscout, part of Zion's pack.  He and Richard baked a colorful cake for the Cubscout cake auction, went on a hike, and are about to participate in the Space Derby.  Owen is lukewarm to most of it, but we hope it will grow on him.  All the kids are from his school and are excited he has been coming to the meetings.  He looks SO CUTE in his uniform, but I didn't yet capture it on film in all it's glory.  Next time...
