It's been awhile....


Well,
it's been awhile since we've blogged.... email, facebook, photos, blackberry... it's hard to keep up with all of these gadgets and sights! We have also been busy with ESP Camp and then moving! So, needless to say... we have been growing and learning SO much... which I hope to catch many of you up on. (I have also just figured out how to import my blog to facebook so hitting 2 birds with one stone... hooray!)




Here are a few recent pictures of Owen and his recent adventures....

4th of July

We were in to making new adventures this year for 
the 4th! We started out in Grandovie and Papi's neighborhood where we joined a 4th of July parade! (it was our first time and we didn't seem to have enough paraphernalia... there's always next year)




We then went to Aunt Grace's house where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and homemade blackberry pie (all cooked by Aunt/chef Grace). 





Owen and Grandovie went home to bed and everyone else watched the BEST fireworks show (known to man) at Centennial park!

The sparks flew... just a couple weeks later... Aunt Grace and Justin were dating! :-)
A GREAT new memory!



ESP Camp

Our youngest camper had a ball this summer! He went to ESP Prom, joined for a few camp days, came to Camp Twin Lakes (away camp) and brightened many camper's faces! He is a "younger brother" to many of the campers at ESP! Lucky Owen!



ESP PROM





Camp Twin Lakes


Enjoying the golf cart! (a little too much!)

The whole family!

Tired boy!

Good ol' camp!


Hanging with Mia at the Hoe-down talent show.

Owen's talent... 


"Da-da"

Joseph's comment to Laura, "He may act like he loves
 you more right now, but he said my name first, so HA!"
:0)

Owen 9 Months!

Could we have asked for a happier baby? I think not!

Lovin' the shorts! (first time trial)

Friends at Bible Class!


Poppin' the collar.....


Weddings...

Typical morning in the Whitaker Household


Our "quiet time"

Owen's First Basketball Game (Go DAWGS!)


A little fun clip of Autism Awareness Night at the UGA Basketball game. We weren't quite sure what Owen would think (especially because it ran past his bedtime!) But, needless to say, he was in his element! The kid has never been happier; in his eyes, the whole coliseum was cheering for him!

(This is the correct video. The first time it was posted, it somehow had a random clip from a friend's wedding!)

Santa's Cowboy



Owen's Gift from Santa...

O's Christmas Tree... O's Christmas Tree...

Sporting the new Christmas outfit!

Grandovie's special santa suit gift!
He wore it to visit her while working at the hospital Christmas day.

Tissue= the best present, ever.

Trying to open a gift.... and pretty good at it!

Santa-Cowboy, oh yeah!

It didn't take him long to figure out which present was his.

Daddy trying to get Owen pumped up about Santa's presents to come.

The "do we really have to take a picture this early?" pose.

Not quite sure what all the excitement's about.
