Belated Visit update

Grandma JJ and G.G. Aunt Ginny came to visit. Ollie had so much fun. He went to zoo and was not afraid to ride the train (as he has been for months). He now is OBSESSED with Frosty the Snowman, and our house is fully decorated for Thanksgiving. (Even though, Ollie keeps taking down the turkeys - because "Halloween is over") Ollie cried when he realized they were gone!

More Painting

Please visit Lotus Land under links to see more pics of Ollie in his underwear painting with LOLO! They had such a messy, good time.

Painting with Daddy

The Artists were home today, because Ollie has been running a high fever for 5 days. He is being tested for mono - poor guy! He was feeling better today, and Daddy got out the paints. They painted several large sheets of paper. Then, Wes taught Ollie how do squeeze paint in between folded sheets of paper to make a picture. After they dried, Wes drew the chickens on these two peices. When he showed them to Ollie, Ollie said "they came to life".

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch Again

We went on our annual journey to Lawrence for the Shaake's Pumpkin patch fun. Ollie really enjoyed it this year. Last year's trip was SUPER cold. He had so much fun on the slides, the maze, in the field, and looking at the chickens - he could have cared less about buying a pumpkin.

Two Years Old

Ollie had his 2 year appointment last week. He is almost 30 lbs. The nurse asked me how many words he spoke. My reply was a lot. She asked more than 50? For sure. His doctor was so in love with Ollie that she asked to take him home. His current favorites are his big Bullseye and Woody, mac and cheese, drawing on big paper, Halloween books, fingerplays, his inflatable pirate Mickey, and SCHOOL!

Second B-Day in OK

Ollie turned 2 on Oct. 3rd. We celebrated in Oklahoma with G-ma JJ, G-pa Jeff, Dick and Ginny, AuntBLoloUncleJeff (one word), and Grammy and PopPop. It was wonderful weather and a super fun time. Ollie got so many toys - I think we need a new house. His theme was Toy Story which he picked out. Thank you for hosting Granma JJ and Granpa Jeff and thanks to everyone for coming. Ollie says "oh no, my birfday over. I sad."
