One day I sat down and looked through my pictures of Owen, starting with when he was born. Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of how far he has come while we're dealing with the day to day things, but it's easy to see when you line up the pictures next to each other. Even little things, like the fact that you can see the pulse-ox cord coming out of his outfit by his foot in the November 17, 2006 picture, bring back memories of how much more difficult it was then than it is now. To give you the same perspective, I have placed pictures from different stages all on one page.
