Are You My Mother?
Amanda gave Oliver the book, Are You My Mother? at the HMS baby shower. The book is a classic & much enjoyed in our house. Tonight it was in the spirit of the book that Oliver asked Calle to read it to him. Unfortunately, like the little bird in the story, Oliver went to the …
So It’s Supposed to Be About Oliver
… and really it is. But when I posted yesterday about the dishwasher where we used to wash Oliver’s dishes in order to save time to spend with Oliver (see, it is about him!) and how you never know, little did I think it would be a theme. Last night the microwave got added to …

No Team Affiliations
Jeremy and I have no team affiliations when it comes to college football. But we have a number of friends whom we love who do. Our friends Alice and Randee traveled cross country this summer and came home with a number of mementos for Oliver, which we cherish, so it was appropriate that on Monday …

…Over spilt milk. But at 6 in the morning when you dump 4 ounces that you just pumped on the floor and realize there is NO MILK LEFT in the freezer, you definitely want to cry. Just sayin’
First Steps!
3 little steps today! We missed them, as they happened at playgroup, but I’m sure there will be plenty more to come soon. Photo/video documentation as soon as we have it.
