Oli's baby shiner

It's amazing how quick babies heal in comparison to adults. If I pulled a table over on my face I would be nursing that wound for a month. Not Oliver, five minutes later and he is up and running. I'm beginning to think he has his fathers genes for mischief and danger. Before I know it he will be making pipe bombs and potato guns... *sigh*

Oliver's 1 year check up

Oliver had his 1 year check up today and everything went well. Even the two shots he got. Such a brave little one.

Happy Birthday Oliver!

I could never give you a gift comparable to
the gift you have given me.
I love you Oliver!

A Mother's Love

A Mother's child is every breath that she takes,
walking hand in hand, they are every step that she makes.

And as their steps will grow to strides,
still a child in a mother's eyes.

Every ache and pain they shall feel,
mother will share and with love she will kneel.

She will pray to god to take care of her child,
to protect and guide him through every mile.

Her child is the very core of her soul,
from baby in arms to an adult they will grow.

For to a mother, her child will stay,
the precious infant she held that day.

Happy Birthday!

It's pretty sad that this was the best photo out of about a dozen.
