Is this the same Oliver?

For those of you who don’t stalk Oliver on his own turf, here’s his latest video. I saw this kid about ten days ago and already he’s changed so much.

They grow up so fast.

A little bit more pie

To relieve my pie withdrawal symptoms, I sampled some offerings on the east coast. First we filled up on falafel.

Finally some sun!

And the pie.

Amanda got America’s vote for her delicious blueberry pie. The birthday girl favorite went to Laura’s key lime. Thanks for the pies guys.

Backyard picnic and pie party

Mom threw a rockin’ birthday celebration at her place last weekend.  Thanks Mom!  Thanks everyone for coming! Also thanks Katie for the pictures.

Really, this was my first beer.  I don’t know why I’m winking.

I saw some delicious sandwiches. Nice presentation, Bun. I like that diagonal slice.

I choose the pies I want to taste (all of them).

Okay, maybe too much pie. I have to take a breather.

The blue ribbon winners! Mom takes home the birthday girl’s choice (big surprise) with my favorite raspberry pie and Molly gets the crowd favorite for her strawberry tart.

More pie (party pics) are over at Cain Central.

4th on Vashon

The island provided more sunshine and fun times for the holiday.  Katie managed to snag some excellent shots.

Oliver alternated between sand and surf with his sandbox and pool.

My brother beat me two times in croquet. Boo.

We walked the McElroy grounds, saw some deer and ate some cherries.

More fun in the sun

Oliver needed a little roughhousing from his Auntie Annie.

After leaving him to enjoy a pool party, Mom (Grandma Linda), Katie, Crosby and I enjoyed some sunset time on the deck in Gig Harbor.

Toddler Oliver

Cute as ever, Oliver toddles a lot more and talks a lot more and is even more cute than the last time I saw him. He gives kisses, points out busses and feeds his own little self.
