Picture time!
















Things have been different with Owen in Georgia. I miss him like crazy and cry quietly at night. I believe I made the right decision for my son even if others don't agree. Our home has gotten less stressful and we're laughing a bit more. Matt and I find ourselves watching Octavian, watching his gestures, dance and even the way he walks. Octavian is quite the character! The terrible twos have hit him, so we try to laugh at his tantrums and put him in a time-out chair when needed.
I miss Owen and he tells me he misses me too. Michael is doing his best at being a father for Owen and sticking with giving Owen responsibilities at home.
