Gift from Owen


The other day Owen comes running into the living room while I'm changing Summer's diaper and says he has a "so cool present for me, but I have to open it in the kitchen" When I come in the kitchen there is a piece of paper folded in half taped shut. When I open it I see a few flowers and a bunch of old snail shells, some with dead snail inside. Owen is beaming with a grin from ear to ear. "Don't you just love it mom, they are so beautiful!" I think I covered my shock well and just went on and on about how I loved them and left them on the counter all day until he went to bed! At which point my father-in-law said "why do we have dead snails in the house, can I throw these out?" Oh my sweet little boy Owen how I love him so!
