Regan and Steven were prepared to do all the work to make a fuss about Owen's First Birthday. And deservedly so too. Owen (and Mom) have spent a good deal of Owen's first year at the Royal Children's Hospital for checks and tests to try and resolve a kidney concern. We are all grateful that Owen takes all this in his stride and is just the happiest little one year old you would like to know and love. Anyway -- BIG occasion, and Vic and John (with gifts of growing chart and puzzels0 and Susan and Dim (who brought him a beautiful wooden bike) were not going to let it pass without making the effort to travel from Sydney to join in on the the celebration which was scheduled for a 11:30 am Saturday 2nd March at Deidre's home. All the relations were there. Deidre and Col. Wayne and Ester, Jeff and Jill, as was all of Regan and Steve's friends. The pics tell the story of an especially important milestone for our Little Owen.... who by the way is now walking, but gets a little lazy if you offer him a hand. But it ... IS HIS BIRTHDAY.. so Happy Birthday Owen ...and Owen says thanks to Deidre for making her home available for the party.
