I cannot believe that we are already at 30 weeks in this 52 week project. Oliver is growing and changing all the time it seems. Things that Oliver loves currently are: books; he always has a bundle of them in his bed, going for walks (usually trying to procure a doughnut), recently telling me is favourite thing to do is "playing super hard". He is such a sweet boy with a bit of a dictatorial streak and he like to be the leader with games and struggles at times with the construct of loosing so has decided that most things end in a tie. Silly bug.

Oliver has been having a ball at camp and they had a costume day, he was both a dinosaur
and superhero.

While Deb and Kurt were visiting last week we went to a
Lowell Spinners game. we always have such fun going to the A league games because it really is geared towards families and fun.
