Pumpkins & puppies

Aunt Sarah took Owen and his new dog Victor to the pumpkin patch this week.

Cooking lessons

Owen likes to help Paul in the kitchen

The wonder of a car wash

Shamrock Run

The annual Shamrock Run in Portland is a big draw - over 35,000 runners this year!  Paul usually does the 15K, but this year it was a father & son Leprechaun Lap for him!

Owen made lots of friends while waiting for the train downtown.

Owen gave out A LOT of high-fives!  Here, he's cheering on the 8K runners at the start line.

More cowbell!  An appreciative high-five recipient gave Owen a cowbell.

At the finish line!

Future doc?

Owen tells me he wants to be a construction worker when he grows up (he also wants me to be a construction worker).  But he's recently been having a lot of fun checking my blood, giving me shots and putting bandaids all over me.

Sweet dance moves

I was trying to not make Owen self-conscious by filming him, but his dance moves had to be documented.

Tis the season
