Owen Chamberlain

Owen Chamberlain was born after a quick labor.  He was an even 8 lbs and 21 inches long.  Both mom and baby are doing great.

We never had considered the name Owen until we became pregnant.  Once we did, no other name seemed to fit.  His first name is the surname of Tom's great (don't know how many "greats") grandparents that came from Wales. 

His middle name Camille picked out several years ago after hearing her grandma tell stories about her (Camille's) Great Great Grandpa Chamberlain and what a great person he was. The night before Owen was born Camille's grandma had a vivid dream about her grandpa Chamberlian. She didn't know we had decided to use that name and was very thrilled when she found out.

His Eskimo name given to him by Patty Milligrock is Tikigaq (most closely rendered "ti-ki-awk"), the Inupiaq word for Point Hope.

Book Worm



The other day as we were getting ready for the day, Chalyse evidently didn't think that just one book was enough.  She pulled every single book off the shelf and started "reading."
