We took a tiring but wonderful road trip this past Friday to Tuesday, and introduced Owen to a ton of special family members and friends along the way. He behaved so well - sleeping in strange places, being held by strangers, and being subjected to lots of time in the car seat. He really took it all in stride and made a good first impression on a lot of people! We relished the attention he received at his "meet the baby" party in Eldred (more details to come!), celebrated Margie and Terry's 40th wedding anniversary with the extended Norton/Bishop clan, met cousin Cory and her sweet Gia and Caterina (left the camera in the car...shoot!), spent the night at Great Gramma and Grampa's house and got spoiled with a delicious meal by Great Aunt Lisa and Uncle Tom, and took a short detour to Seneca Lake to meet the Peters clan (forgot the camera again...doh!). It was no surprise that Owen slept nearly the entire 5.5 hour trip home on Tuesday.
