Owen Christopher Grimes

My sister had a beautiful baby boy last week! Owen Christopher Grimes arrived on August 25th at 3:25 AM, and was 7 pounds, 1 ounce and 20 1/2 inches long. He is healthy and Mandy is doing great post-birth. We went down to Florida over Labor Day weekend to visit the Eschens and to meet Owen for the first time! For more pictures of Owen, visit the Grimes Family Blog.

Proud Mommy!



I was holding Owen about 5 minutes after we arrived in town. I can't believe how tiny he is, and that Avery was this small only 4 months ago! I already can't remember!



Testing out Avery's bouncy seat! He seems to like it OK.



All three of the Eschen grandchildren.



Poppy and Car Car were thrilled to have all three of them together for the first time!



Here are some other fun pics of our holiday weekend in FL. We missed Will and Megan a lot, but they were with us in spirit!

Harrison tried the earphones that go to the DVD set in the minivan, but didn't want to keep them on long. It was his loss, as he ended watching his movies in silent mode, as Mom and Dad were not going to listen to Little Einsteins and Thomas for 7 hours straight!



Avery loved the exersaucer at Poppy and Car Car's house!

The Redding Street daughters and grandchildren. From left to right, Harrison, me, Avery, Mandy, Owen, Alex, Kim and Nicholas Colitz.


We had lots of family and friends over to visit during the weekend to see all of the babies - Karen, Glenn, Shelby, Luke, Uncle Jim, Aunt Nancy, Brian, Erin, Kim Colitz and her two boys and Karen Izzo. Here are Karen and Shelby getting some Avery love.



Harrison and Car Car eating some ice cream. Harrison woke up the next day asking for ice cream as soon as he was out of bed. Uh oh! His other favorite thing to say is YES! with the fist pump. It all started with hot dogs, I asked him if he wanted a hot dog for dinner and he was so excited that I said "hot dogs, yes!!" with a fist pump and he thought that was great! Now he says it all the time, i.e. waffles, yes! Einsteins, yes!



Erin also got to meet Avery for the first time! She brought James over too, it had been a long time since I had seen him. He is such a big boy now!
