Picnic in the Park with my Angel

Hhhmmm, sesame sticks or apple

Oliver is the ultimate recycler....

why shouldn't this cracker box

be made into footwear.

This kid is super fly!
A typical Savannah pastime.

Godmom Zoe bought these glasses for

O. He loves them and has spent some

quality mirror time admiring just how cool

he looks while wearing them.

These used to be numbers. Zoe and O tore

them into pieces a year ago. O decided to

assemble them into his name. I only helped
him with the "e."

ArtZeum

O and I went to the ArtZeum today for

some creative enrichment and

inspiration.

A short building blocks refresher.

We really got those creative juices flowing

at the magnet board. We made this house

which Oliver exclaimed was "freaking cool!"

Robot interpretations.

O pondered life's mysteries on one

of the sculpture terraces.

Oliver felt these ancient tribal facial tattoos were

particularly intriguing.

Experimenting with fashions of the past.

I think O's interpretation of how this

fabulous smock should be worn is

especially enlightening.

Grandad and Nana's Visit

My little Spider-pop

About to blast off!

Hide-and-seek with Linda, etal.

Sweet Logan, who kept asking Oliver,

"May I have this dance," and

Oliver kept running away.

Grandad and Nana

Lunch on River St

This boy is a party waiting to happen!

A family photo

So O and I bought a Spiderman tin

filled with taffy for Grandad. And after

lunch Grandad and Nana went to the same

store. Grandad wanted to buy a tin of

taffy and Oliver did an amazing job of

keeping his secret and thwarting Grandad's

efforts to make a purchase. This is him

saying "Oooh, no Grandad."

This is O saying "no, no, no

Grandad," no taffy purchases for you.

"Let's run Grandad."

Gramma's Birthday

Happy Birthday Gramma!!!

Some solitude in a hectic world.
A lone beauty in Sparkle butt SC

Aunt Becky loves some Olipop!

textile mill.

Just When I Thought O Could not be More Endearing

Last night we were lying in bed talking before sleepy time. Oliver wanted to know what would happen in the future and I was telling him about growing up and doing all the things grown ups do, like working. So I asked him what he thought he might like to do for a job.

me: "Would you like to be an astronaut?"
O: "No."
me: "How about a doctor?"
O: "Oh Yeah! A real doctor so I can take care of people's bodies. That's why I want to be
at work with you."
me: "Because I help take care of people's bodies?"
O: "Yeah."

I almost cried a little bit. It was like a movie moment. He's just so precious.

My Precious O

Oliver's first favorite song was "Uptown Girl," which he calls "Up Down Girl." The other day he asked me to play it then asked, "does she do tumbling?" "I don't know buddy, why?" To which he replied "because she's up and down."
