From Blowouts to Bright Eyes – Owen at 10 Weeks

Hello there faithful munchkin monitors. We’ve been quiet in blog land but busy at the Grant Family Ranch. Owen is going on 11 weeks old and blowin’ (literally) through diapers, milk, and baby clothes. He’s been breaking out some adorable smiles and noises. He recently discovered his tongue and it looks like his drool switch has been flipped to the “flood all” position.

Mom and I have learned some valuable lessons, some of which are as follows:

• Always bring an extra change of clothes, no matter where you go. This helps to avoid commandeering a baby girl’s onesie from a fellow church-going mother.
• Have a burp-up rag on you at all times.
• Noting is more rewarding after a long day at work then coming home to see your baby boy stare at you and smile.
• God can use babies to bless other people. Owen puts big smiles on everybody’s face, both young and old.
• Enjoy every day with your little boy. He changes clothe sizes, weight, and looks by the moment.
• God’s grace is sufficient to get us through any trial and gives us the power to love Owen–regardless of sleep deprivation and exhaustion.

We hope you enjoy some of the pictures below. They’re from our mini-trip to the North Cascade Highway, Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Grant’s, and fun time with Auntie Amy.

Thanks so much for your continued prayers and support.

Matt, Adelle, and Owen
