Owen's Egg-cellent Easter






I know - groan - I promise, the remainder of this post is pun-free.

Our usual camping trip with Audrey and Walt was postponed due to a wedding they were attending, so the Mechems (minus Cearra unfortunately) headed to western Maryland for the Easter weekend.

Friday night we ate dinner at Bunnies (the restaurant owned by Bob's dad and step mom; if you are ever in LaVale, MD stop by and try the Haystack salad or Charlene's famous crab soup) where Owen was the toast of the tavern as his "Pap" proudly introduced him to all the diners.

Next we went to Nannie's for the night and the next day had a wonderful time visiting with Uncle Todd, Aunt Maria, and Cousin Hannah, plus friends and family who stopped by to meet Owen. Beth - we promise we'll see you next time! Owen also met his great grandfather Bud; it was touching to see four generations together. Thank you to everyone for coming to see us and for the thoughtful gifts for Owen.

We wrapped up our trip by joining Pap, Charlene and Charlene's mom for Easter dinner

*** We interrupt this post to bring you breaking news ... Owen's right front tooth has appeared!! Now back to our post ***

on Sunday. Then our amazingly good kid slept the whole way home. We had a wonderful weekend and look forward to seeing everyone again very soon. I hope your Easter was equally filled with family and friends (and perhaps some dark chocolate coconut creme eggs?).

What a Blessed Easter we had...

It seems that there is a fine thread of 'words' that weave this blog/'Story of Owen' together: Family, friends, prayers, hopes, dreams, and of course love. And this 'thread' has woven itself halfway around the world.I think we all feel an amazing
'connection'.
So thank you Jodi, Bob and Owen (I missed Cearra terribly) for making my Easter so very special. And to all who have been such a wonderful part of this journey, I pray your Easter/Passover was filled with much love and happiness too.
