Our small group from church had a party at the Powell's house for Cinco de Mayo. Oliver was such a good boy with his friends. He did not bite or pull hair once! We did have a brief scare when he choked on some of the pinata candy. He tried to eat half a piece of bubble gum with the wrapper still on. Andrew was totally calm about it all as he got Oliver breathing again. Andrew and I work well in those kinds of emergencies. It really helped to have all our friends right there saying "you are doing the right thing."
I think everyone took a deep sigh of relief when the candy chunk came out. Oliver wasn't phased one bit by the drama. He immediately went for another piece of candy. The kid did not skip a beat.
Andrew was immediately struck by how much older Oliver looks in these pictures, and I agree...time really does seem to accelerate, doesn't it?
We will soon make our journey to Boston, of course...Sadly, Andrew can't join us because of his work commitments. Luckily, our sweet college babysitter (also named Stephanie) is available and able to accompany me and Ollie. You can pray that everything will go smoothly and I won't bite her head off during the tedious 24 hour EEG!
Here are Caroline and June. The most adorable twins ever!
Here is sweet Hadley. She is growing up way too fast...I guess the Carpenters will just have to have another girl!
