HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER BJORN!
Oh I just can't believe it! It's been one whole year since Oliver was born. So much has happened, so much has changed. Our lives were changed. I remember being so overwhelmed with love I thought my heart was literally going to burst. I didn't know what to do with myself at times. He is the most fun little boy. He loves to share his food and climb up on people. He loves to play with tractors and trucks and walks all over the house, screaming in joy. He's not too fond of diaper changes but he sure loves to get you wet during bath time! He thinks the world of his daddy already and he goes to his momma for comfort. He loves to pull on the kitty but realizes now the end result is usually biting, so he doesn't go there anymore. He LOVES to read books and will sit on the floor by himself and open them up, turn the pages, going through all of them. Mostly though, he is to us a vision of God's love. To think God gave his only son to die on a cross to save us from our sins, I just can't even imagine that with Ollie. My heart would die. It would be too hard. But God did do that for us, and Jesus gave himself for us. Ollie's birth put that into a whole new perspective for us.
Ollie is such a blessing in our life and I thank God everyday for giving me that blessing. The joy in the house is tangible and the love is overwhelming still.
Here is the link from that day -- I still can't believe it!!!
