The Bowen Family

As many of you know, Aunt Virginia passed away last Tuesday.

It seems like just yesterday that she was sitting in my kitchen telling me about the latest health research she was reading. The last time I saw her was at Aunt Shirley’s funeral, and I wish I could have spent a little more time with her. She was a really neat lady, and I will sorely miss her. I only regret that I didn’t get to know her when she was younger.

I found this announcement online. If there is another, I would be interested in posting it as well. I would also like to have a picture if someone has one.

We love you Aunt Virginia. God be with you ’till we meet again.

A funeral will be held Tuesday, March 20, 2007, in California for Virginia King, who died March 13 at age 92.

Virginia Bowen was born Oct. 4, 1914, in Garland, Utah. A homemaker, she lived in Burbank and Newhall, Calif., as well as Minneapolis. She moved to Utah in 1999 and came to Beaverton in 2005. In 1934, she married Carl M.; he died in 1988.

Survivors include her sons, Wallace, Larry, David, Dennis and Leon; daughter, Sharon Mortenson; brother, Wayne Bowen; sister, Ricorda Bowns; 35 grandchildren; and 58 great-grandchildren.

Arrangements by Finley’s.

Last weekend, Kerry and Ben tied the knot.  It was great to have the family all together again.

We finally got to bring Matthew home!

-Peter

Matthew is not coming home today because his bilireuben count is too high.  It breaks my heart to see that tiny body with an IV, the little eye protectors and all those lights.  He’s a trooper though and seems to be in good spirits.
On the other hand, Ali is coming home today, but we exepect to be shuffling back and forth over the next couple of days.  Keep us in your prayers.

Matthew arrived on schedule this afternoon at around 3:30 PM Utah time. He was HUGE weighing in at 9 lbs 14 ozs and 21″ tall. He is healthy and pink, and Ali is doing well too. We expect he and Ali to be home tomorrow or the next day. Pictures are here…

Well, the day of Matthew’s arrival is quickly approaching.  Ali is VERY scheduled so I fully expect him to come right on cue Friday Morning.  Watch the site, because if he comes early, I’ll be sure to post details here.  So here’s the schedule for those who may anticipate coming for the blessing.

April 7th – Matthew Arrives (Expected)

April 9th – Matthew Comes Home

May 7th – Fast Sunday -

Baby Blessing (Church is at 9:00)

Lunch after at Peter & Ali’s house

If you are coming from out of state, let us know so that we can make arrangements.  The house is a little full right now with the basement not yet finished and Ali’s dad staying with us.  The plan is to have the basement done by the beginning of May, so we should have room for Mom & Dad, and one possibly two other couples and babies.  Reserve early for best selection I’ll keep everyone posted!

The Adams’ went on a Caribbean charter and they’ve just returned.  Apparently a good time was had by all.

This is for both of the readers of my former blog…. You can find Peter’s rants at http://www.peterabowen.com/. I’ll migrate some of the hobby stuff here, but the technology and business stuff will live there.
