Today was a difficult day. It is Owen's 1st birthday! We were not able to send him anything yet, as his orphanage is very strict about care packages and contact with the adoptive families. So the kids and I made cupcakes at home and celebrated his birthday by going to the park and enjoying this lovely weather we have been having this week.
Elliot had soccer practice today so we went to watch him play then home for dinner. Elliot thought we should have Owen's favorite meal, taco's of course. Because you know if Elliot likes it then Owen must like it, Owen is HIS brother. So taco's it was.
Happy 1st birthday Owen Louis YongChen Chambers
Owen James YongChen Chambers
We still haven't decided on a middle name. We all like both. Louis is a name I have always liked and it is Joel's grandfathers middle name, only his is Lewis. James is just a great name and since both Joel and Elliot have J's in their names we feel like Owen should have a J also. So maybe we will have a poll. Leave a message and let us know which middle name you like for Owen.

My little boy is growing up too fast
Elliot has had a lot going on lately. First, he has learned to read! We are all so excited for him. Here is a picture of him with the first book he read by himself. He now wants to read everything. He is so proud of himself.
A few weeks later, he started loosing teeth. His two bottom teeth we loose. His sister knocked out the first one when they were playing. Then the other one moved into the center for this lovely look. Two days later the other one fell out at pre-school. Thank goodness!
Here he is with his partner in crime. I found it funny that this child was telling Elliot to "just pull it out" even though she herself would not touch her loose teeth. They were allowed to literally hang in there until they dropped out by themselves.
