Oliver is three weeks old and counting. It is amazing how someone so small can have such a BIG impact. Every inch of our lives is impacted by Oliver. This is most felt in the wee hours of the morning when we used to participate in this wonderful ritual called sleep. I hear that somewhere down the road we may become acquainted with this old friend again.
We are grateful for all the friends that have gathered around us in this time of transition. Meals and baby-holding are most appreciated.

Here are some pics from Oliver's latest and greatest adventures:

Here is Oliver's first field trip into the gorgeous Alaska Wild with his parents. We are pretty sure he had the time of his life. This is Turnagain Arm, the part of Cook Inlet that surrounds Anchorage. He stayed cozy and warm, and fast asleep, during this adventure.

This morning Oliver had his first field trip out without his mom or dad. Here is a pic of our friend Ingrid and her daughter Greta. Oliver accompanied them for a 2 hour walk in the mother of all strollers...the chariot! He could barely stand all the excitement and slept beautifully the entire time (and so did I ). Thanks Ingrid and Greta!
