Owee


Owee= Owen= Aaron= Ryan's younger brother

Aaron is currently a short term missionary in Sweden with the International Church in Gothamberg. He is loving it. But he misses being home of course! Olivia was born just two months after he left for Sweden the first time and they didn't get to meet until she was 10 months old when he came home for Christmas. This June he was able to come back again for 3 weeks and Olivia was able to spend quite a bit of time with him. To put it simply, she LOVED him. It is so adorable! He left shortly after the 4th of July and Olivia talks about him all the time. She always asks about all of her family members and people she loves when she hasn't seen them. Before Aaron left, he taught Olivia how to say goodbye in Swedish--pardon my spelling because I have no idea how to spell it, but I'm doing it phonetically by how Olivia says it! All the time now she says, "Heydo Owee!" Goodbye Owee! :)
He's coming home again in January; perfect timing for the new little babe! Hopefully Olivia won't miss him too much until then!

Sooooooo cute! It's great that she misses him and can't wait to see him, but doesn't it just break your heart at the same time? I always feel that way when Annika asks about Auntie Bridgit, Uncle Nate or her cousins. And she gets to see them more often!

Hejda!

Cute! Brady is like that with my brother Brandon. He lives in Chicago, and after he leaves, for like a week, he'll ask, "Is Uncle B coming over?" So sad :(

By the way, it was Amanda and Scott Stoeckel's dad that passed away, and it was truly sad...
