Portland

Grandpa Fred flew in for a quick visit this past weekend to catch the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament in Portland, Oregon. So we drove to Portland and while Grandpa cheered on the Illini and the Zags, Oliver and I visited with all of our friends there. Oliver got to play with Ruby Rippetoe, Oscar Jones, Olivia LeClerc and Ona Sprague! That's a lot of O names isn't it? It was one big playdate of a weekend. And I got some great adult time with our close friends! It was a funfilled weekend.

They don't look happy here, but they had a ball together, really they did!

Oliver walks!

We've waited a long time for this day to come and he finally did it. And he is so proud of himself too, it's cute. Way to go Oliver!



On a not so positive note, he's also learned how to turn on the television. There are so many milestones to be proud of.

Look at that beautiful messy hair

The King in his throne

He stands on my childhood step stool to look out his bedroom window

Time for a haircut?
