Apologize for the lapse, but we (including Owen) took a trip to Vancouver/Banff from the 12th-20th (more to come on the trip details), then I crashed when we got back and suffered viral gastroenteritis all last week.  Things are just FINALLY back to normal this week.

Yesterday evening, Owen went to the first musical concert of his life.  Owen’s aunt (Mommy’s cousin Sabrina) was in the chorus at Green Hope High and invited the entire family to attend the 2-hour concert.  Because Owen was sleeping, we did not get to the school until around 7:30pm (it started at 7pm).  Daddy and Mommy decided to stand in the back of the auditorium so it’s easier to videocam and to hurry out in case Owen starts to fuss. 

We figured that since Owen loves to listen to and dance to music, that he would be at least be good for a while in the beginning…maybe 15 mins or so.  Owen amazed us by not making a peep until about 10 mins before the concert was over (around 8:50pm) - he was quiet for almost 90 mins straight! Now for a 14.5 months BOY who can’t seem to sit still for more than 10 secs at home, if that’s not a sign that he will be into music, I dont know what is (granted Owen was always paying attention to the stage, but also spent a great deal of time “people-watching” (esp when they clapped) and “environment-observing”, it’s still a significant achievement)!  We told Grandparents Hong this, and Grandpa Hong is ready to buy a grand piano for Owen to start “nurturing” his musical talents! ;P
