Merry Christmas Terry, Joe, and Oliver!


































As Oliver's Guardian (or Fairy Godmother as I like to be called), I decided to make at least one wish come true. Terry has been mentioning for months that she wishes she had time to create a blog for Oliver. And Terry, the hardest part about starting a blog is deciding WHERE to start! 
So I started your blog the day you and Joe returned from your Hawaii visit before you even knew you were pregnant. October 27, 2005. Yes, I have saved every single e-mail you have written to me since that day. You were writing such great updates on your pregnancy journey with Oliver that I saved them so one day I could make him an album with all your entries. But this is even better, thanks to technology! 
To take the 2 year journey chronologically, in the right hand column you will see "BLOG ARCHIVE". Click the 2005 carrot. Click October (1) carrot. Click "Before Terry even knew she was Pregnant Post Hawaii". After reading the first entry, click "NEWER POST" in the bottom Left Hand corner (Below POST A COMMENT). Continue clicking "newer post" to read each entry in order.
So now the ball is in your court to update this blog with wonderful pictures and stories weekly. I had such a great time reminiscing Oliver's journey with this blog! It blows me away how fast the time goes and how much Little Man has grown! We love you guys!

See you later Gator
















FLASHBACK! OLIVER'S FIRST HALLOWEEN! 

Did you have big Halloween fun? Parker held his annual Halloween fest for the kiddos with a potluck and then we visited a select few neighbors with the cute little costumed kiddos. Oliver was a 'gator. I'll get some photos to you one way or another. I don't really want to get into the trick-or-treating ritual, but it was really great spending time with a lot of other parents and kiddos 3 and under.

Am writing to you on a new MacBook Pro as my old systems were entering obsolescence and no longer upgradable. Joe insisted we use W's 'stimulus' rebate to buy a 'puter. We watched the first 2 CSI's last night on it and I was completely blown away at the clarity of the picture. Guess we'll plod along and see where the season goes...
