Happy MLK...(and Merry Xmas)


Happy Martin Luther King Day! Oh crap! Did I forget the Christmas posting????????

Let's do a brief recap since Holly covered most of the Wever Christmas in her Christmas blog (that actually made it up to the web in a timely fashion).


The First Bower Family Xmas Card.

This was the card that if you were in Concord for Xmas, you did NOT get. I ordered a limited number of cards and they went to a select few that live far, far away.



Uncle Kevin & Amy in Woodland

They passed through first...Oliver was very happy to meet Uncle Kevin and see Aunt Amy again.


Oliver Meets Uncle Tod

Tod takes a break from the assortment of holiday wieners, to give little Oliver a hug.

Uncle Kip, AKA "The baby snatcher!"



Great Grandma watching over Oliver



Larry & Oliver Finally Meet

Larry & Oliver share Grandpa's lap...luckily there is always room for Grandsons!

Evan keeps growing!


The Meeting





Jon & Larry have a similar taste in head apparel.


XMAS is for KIDS



Evan enjoying his new DS.

Grant LOVES robots!


Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Batman!

Kissing the Batmobile.

Thanks to Larry, these tracks are SLICK!



Doesn't even know what day it is!

Cousins





O.K. I'll kiss him...but he's no Batmobile!

It's like Oliver is aware that a 2 year old is holding him, and looks for a hand!






This group is very hard to coral!


The Gingerbread House


Aunt Emily steps in to guide the "frosting challenged."




See...He CAN get his picture taken!

Xmas Hugs






The Feast




The Clean-Up

Emily....a true Christmas Hero!



Does this even need a caption?

Grandma decides she better earn her keep!


Emily and Family in Woodland

Goodbye hugs.

Tod & the gang hit Woodland






Over all we had a great time visiting with everyone, and Oliver loved all his cool books, cloths and toys! Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to stop by Woodland for some one-on-one time! LOVE YOU!

BEST DAD EVER!


Have I told anyone lately how AWESOME my husband Jon is? Not only was he a HERO during our crazy move into a new home (where he had to do almost everything cuz I was soooo prego), and a SUPER birthing coach during my LONG 33 hour labor, he is now the BEST stay at home DAD!!!! He takes care of Oliver so good while I'm at work and sends me (and the Alaskan Grandparents) pictures & videos of Oliver throughout the day....Everyday.

I have been able to watch Oliver roll over for the first time, drift asleep, wake up from naps, smile etc. It has made the transition back into work bearable. I don't feel like I'm Missing Everything!

I made a quick slide show with some of the photos we have been taking of Oliver with our good camera and our iphones, and have incorporated many of the iphone videos that Jon sent to me throughout the work week. It's called "Pictures of Oliver" Enjoy.
