We were in WA for only a few short days so I am truly sorry to my WA friends who I did not get to see. I have to say, it was a trip centered strongly around family because each moment we spend as a family is so precious and we know our time together as a COMPLETE family is too quickly slipping away. But that's another post.
To take advantage of the opportunity of having the ENTIRE family together again, we took family picutres! Jacqui Shumate and her husband Travis took beautiful pictures of our family! I have only seen 3 of them so far and I'm sad to say I don't have the link to their website yet, but once I get more of the pictures you can bet I'll be posting them with all the details of how to contact Jacqui and Travis. There are 8 grandkids now which is doubled from when Christopher left. There were so many little people he hadn't met that we labeled them at the airport :) Only in our family I guess. So here below are the pictures! This was a trip that I will NEVER forget.
The eight squishy grandchildren. Blow up the picture and check out that smile on Mr. Owen.

Great pictures, Amy! I'm glad you had a good time, and that your mom was strong enough to be there. I've been thinking about you both and wish you the best. It's a tough road, a really tough road, but you can do it. Hang in there.
What a sweet post and I am so so so glad that the whole family was together! I bet the kids loved seeing their Uncle Chris! He is so old! I still picture him as a little boy!!!
Hard to hold back the tears seeing your beautiful courageous mom and dad. Love the pictures and can't wait to see them all!
Great pictures!! Glad you guys were able to have a quick trip to see your brother and the rest of the family, especially your mom!!
Definitely treasure every moment with your family! I love that everyone was able to be there for Chris coming home. I only was home to see one of my brothers come home - but it's a fun experience! I can't believe how many grandkids are already in your family. How fun!
P.S. Now that you've settled into your new house - we should meet up at Freestone park or something soon!
I visit your blog almost every day hoping for another post. Your family pictures cheer me up invariably.
Love from Robert&Ewa
Robert & Ewa,
Thank you so much for visiting our blog! I have visited yours also and love to see pictures of your beautiful family! Andrew has told me so much about you and really has a special place in his heart for you. I'm so glad we're able to connect this way.
I have tried leaving comments on your blog before, but because I don't speak Polish, I haven't been successful yet! :) I need to have Andrew help me do it!
I look forward to continuing to hear from you and also continue to see your own family grow!
Love,
Amy
Oh What a gorgeous family! I love the photos- here is Jaqui's site that I have... not sure if it is their main one... but they might be posted there soon? not to get hopes up...but thought I'd put it on here for you! I hope your mom continues to be strong and she is always in our families prayers!
all my love!

We are praying for you and your mom. What a wonderful experience--I am so glad you all got to be there together.
That last picture is just so precious. What a wonderful memory to have. I'm so glad your mom got to be there for this event!
