Owen is 9!

Owen turned 9- hard to believe!  Daddy took the day off so we celebrated around the house and also with a trip to Valley Forge.

Owen could barely contain himself as he waited for his one requested gift...

His sewing machine!

Singing over breakfast...

He got right to work while we packed up for the morning.

We drove out to Valley Forge to walk around and picnic--it was gorgeous weather!

Owen and Eliza in one of the huts.

We remember and honor Maine where ever we go!!

Well this looks comfy...

Owen and Charlotte became Junior National Park rangers...again! (They also earned the honor in Acadia National Park and Independence Historical Park).

Singing to Owen one last time over Cheese Pie (with a caramel sauce outline of his sewing machine!)  Happy Birthday, sweet boy!
