Owen's Nursery

Thank you to so many who showered Owen with love. Here is a look at his nursery here:

Owen's crib.

Dresser, artwork, toy cubbies, and book rack.
Window seat.

Wardrobe and storage.

It's adorable, no? Our sweet boy hasn't spent much time in his crib, however, because he continues to struggle with acid reflux. We continue to hope he will soon outgrow the discomfort so he can fully enjoy his own room!

Back with Baby Owen

This September we returned to East Asia with our four-month-old, Owen, and my mom, Susan, in tow. What joy we experienced bringing our baby boy back to our apartment here and showing my mom around our "home away from home!"

Laura, Owen, and Susan explore a village called Baisha
on a rainy afternoon.

In Baisha, Owen and James attract some love and attention
from Naxi grandmas.

James and Susan stop for a photo in the streets
of Old Town.

James and Susan enjoy a glorious rooftop view of Old Town.

James shows Susan the market.

She was the first of our relatives to visit. We are so proud of her adventurous spirit and very grateful for her help getting us settled here as a new family of three. James, Owen, and I look forward to welcoming more of you, our family and friends, soon!
