Holy cow, it's been a while! Sorry for the EXTREMELY long absence - life gets pretty hectic with Oliver. He likes my undivided, constant attention. I mean, this kid is pretty much glued to me all day (in an awesome, it's fine, I love him sort of way :) ) So, I'm going to post a few things in the next week or so in an attempt to catch up (mostly photo dumps and maybe a few videos).

So, just a brief update in case the overwhelming number of photos gives you pause and you don't feel like looking at any other post... we moved. Yes, again. Just across town, but it was damn exhausting! Pretty much anything is exhausting with an infant (examples include: laundry, making dinner, sleeping - oh, yeah, that's possible). We have had several awesome visitors including Mimis Kim and Candace, Aunt Kathryn and his cousins, Grandpa James and Grandma Jan and a few visits from Nana Patricia. Oliver loves his family and hopes that you all return soon. For those friends and family members that Ollie has yet to meet - he extends a warm invite to you (we have a guest room, use it). Finally, we just celebrated Oliver's first birthday - what a year and oh, how fast it went...

Let's start the updating. First, Aunt Kathryn came to visit all the way from Germany and got to meet her "Olliepop" for the first time!

Ollie loved meeting the "fam" and couldn't get enough of Amelia :)

Next, Ollie got to meet Grandpa James and Grandma Jan who came for a visit from Missouri!

 The boys.

 Looking at ants, of course.

Ollie loves the chaos of having lots of people around!
