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

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.
So sorry yesterday was difficult. But, he'll be home before you know it!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm a James girl - I'm a little partial to the name because it's Jim's name and Isaac's middle name. But, Louis is nice too :) You can't go wrong with either name.
Oh my goodness...He has the same birthday as Ben! Ben turned 3 on the 17th. He is such a cutie. I like Owen Louis! You think you will travel again this summer?
ReplyDeleteHi there...I saw your question on RQ about USCIS. I couldn't figure out how to comment on there so I hopped over to your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWe actually just walked into the KC USCIS last week for fingerprints (for my 18 year old son). It was 3 weeks before our actual appointment. :) The guy was kinda grumpy about it at first, but quickly got us in and was very nice after that. LOL.
I say give it a try! The only bad thing is that you have to wait until they get all the scheduled people done first...which for us, there were only 3-4 people ahead of us.
Hope that helps!
Happy belated birthday to your little guy I am a littled biased and love the name James. But both are amazing and strong names so you cant go wrong with either of them. So happy for you and your family and Owen!!
