Owen is typically asleep when Chad leaves for work in the morning, so the evening is a special time for the two of them. Chad's face will light up when he sees Owen after walking in the door from work and Owen has started to smile when he hears Chad's voice (It is a pretty recognizable voice)...
In this photo, B had had a pretty grumpy evening...Chad took him out onto the front porch to rock in the rocker and it started to rain...the combination of being with his dad, being outside, rocking and the rain made him fall right to sleep!
Here, Chad is starting B off early...the two are reading from "The Dangerous Book for Boys". My brother, Jamey, gave this book to Chad for Christmas a couple years back. Chad has decided that he and Owen are going to read the book together as they rock before bed in Owen's glider. Chad read it from cover to cover as he brushed up on his knot tying, compass reading, fire starting, bear wrestling, hog tying skills. I can only imagine what Chad and Owen will be up to in our back yard in years to come...I better get the ice packs, band-aids and video camera ready!
Chad knows that J, will be (if he hasn't already started) reading this book to Trip...Chad wants to make sure that Owen will be up to par when he and Trip have their next play date!
