Oliver

Today was another opportunity for me to share some "grandparent joy" with friends, Sherri and David, as their grandson, Oliver, was in town from Atlanta. What a cutie! Mom, Lovisa,and Dad, Cary, happily share this little angel when they are here. I am so envious that they live in such close proximity and can get visits in quite often. It is pure heaven to just sit and watch him go from activity to activity....such energy! And, he had already gone with 'Poppy' to the scrap metal yard, the fire station, and the swimming pool....and, it wasn't even noon yet! I bet that 'Poppy' will be taking a little nap this afternoon when Oliver goes down for his! I came to visit this time with my camera in tow so that I could get some new pictures of Oliver. Of course, everyone was prodding him to smile for the camera. The more we tried, the more he kept from smiling. We said, "show your petty teeth" and "say cheese"...all to no avail. Then we tried to get him to put on the hard hat and protective glasses that he had gotten...but, he wasn't going to have any part of that either. It was as if he was letting us know that he was cute ,adorable, and absolutely precious just the way he is. And, you know what? He was right.
