Happy Halloween!

We are doing great - Owen is gaining weight like a champ, it is our favorite time of year AND our favorite holiday and we've got a visit from Grandpa Marshall and Nai Nai coming up at the end of this week. I'll share more photos from our evening at the clubhouse Halloween gathering along with a more detailed "Owen update" tomorrow after our weight check at the pediatrician's.


Great Aunt Lei Ann sent a beautiful knit pumpkin hat (which is so cool, he'll be wearing it well past Halloween).

Aunt Laura gave Owen a colorful Halloween onesie, spooky socks and a ghost hat.


Owen loves his gorgeous quilt (in the photos below) that Claudia Kumai, a lovely friend and a former co-worker at Fred Hutchinson, made for him and that we just received yesterday.



Adam and Ann at Meadowlark Cafe in Lincoln, Nebraska sent a handmade pumpkin onesie that we've yet to capture on film. And for Halloween tonight at the Indianola clubhouse, Owen is dressing up as a Washington native species - Ursus Americanus - a black bear.

Lastly, Halloween is ALWAYS appropriately celebrated at Grounds for Change, and so in the spirit of our favorite holiday, I had to include our annual photo.


Happy Halloween!

I FINALLY figured out how to reply to you! Still not sure why, but it worked this time. I think it has something to do with google and yahoo. I love your blog. Your narrations are rare art forms.
There are three months of comments I have written to you and Owen, and they are in the ether somewhere!
Owen TURNING OVER! Owen has a great EEG! Owen getting fat! What marvelous, amazing and loving news. I loved Velma's shirt for him. And I hope to be helping you in some way pretty soon.
love, shirley
