Fun with Family
Last weekend Papa and M'laine decided to come up to join the rest of our family, so we had some fun get-togethers while they were here! Uncle Tony and Aunt Shannon gave Oliver a kite for his birthday, so he was pretty pumped to try that out. Sunday we all gathered at Seth's sister Stacey's house, and Papa and Seth got Oliver all hooked up with flying his kite. It was drizzly and there wasn't much wind, but he still did pretty well! And loved it - that was the important part :) 
Seth's other sister Shannon stayed in town for the week, so M'laine decided to stay as well, and we got the joy of having her here with us, which the boys of course love! Books were read, songs were sung, games were played...it was a great week.
On Thursday Aunt Shannon delivered some belated birthday presents from Oliver's cousins Holland and Payton, so Oliver dug right in...
First came a little decorated box from Payton...
...with some fruit snacks...
...some crayons...
...chalk for Oliver's chalkboard...
...and some great books! Oliver has been using and loving it all! Thank you, Payt!!

Next came Holland's gift... she hand-painted him a special tile at a ceramics paint shop in town - she did a fabulous job, and such a sweet gift! Thanks Holland!!
And last came a little snuggle and reading time before Auntie Shannon and M'laine had to leave to make their long trek home. We so enjoyed having you both here!
This picture just cracked me up... the other day I laid Sullivan on the blanket, and a minute later looked over there and saw this (he doesn't crawl yet, mind you...yet he still gets around so good!) Bella had taken over the newly-vacant blanket :)
