Rowley Milestones for 2007

1. We kept Oden alive. He turned 1 year old in July, and is still chugging along healthily despite his complete disregard for his own safety.
2. We kept up our travel: Barcelona in January, Florida in Feb, California in March, North Carolina in August - Oden accompanied us on every trip.
3. Patricia went back to work after a 9 month mommy sabbatical. She really enjoys the work/mommy balance.
4. Oden hit all of the standard developmental milestones such as: sitting up, eating solids, crawling, walking, self-feeding, and learning sign language. The thing he hasn't done really is talk yet. However, he is hitting the crap out of a baseball, so it all balances out.
5. We re-did our kitchen, and survived the stress.
6. We had a very successful garden, and Oden loves tomatoes fresh off the vine.
7. Jon worked hard to increase his profile in his field. He is organizing conferences and journals, and has started a blog on the regenerative medicine industry called The Regeneration Station.

Happy Holidays from the Rowley Family!
