Fireman to the rescue


Approximately one week ago, after arriving at the Neuenschwander home, Fireman Owen found a neglected child in a cold corner of the home. He quickly went to work for he knew what had to be done. He changed into his uniform (good sign of a true professional) and ran through the house gathering the needed supplies: diaper, desitin, and wipes. He gently laid the baby down on the floor and prepared for the worst. He lifted up her bottom and uttered these most feared words "It's a big one!" He wiped her off from head to toe (reports are the baby had been sitting in a messy diaper for who knows how long). Then he applied the desitin although onlookers state that they didn't actually see Fireman Owen figure out how to unscrew the lid. But nonetheless the baby was clean and comfortable within a matter of minutes. Although changing diapers isn't directly in a fireman's line of duty, Fireman Owen feels firemen should help out in anyway they can seeing how so many people look up to them. The Neuenschwander community thanks Fireman Owen for saving a poor neglected child from discomfort.

That is hilarious!! Did he learn to change a diaper just through observation, or was it part of his fireman training?

Awesome pictures and writing to go with it. I hope Owen will be as helpful the next time Matthew has a "big one."

Owen is so cute! I really miss all of you. He makes an awesome fireman. I hope that he will teach all of the other fireman what they should be focusing on.
