End of February 2009: A Nice Day Together



Weekends for a working Nana are filled with anticipation.


Chances are pretty good that Oliver can come out to play...


On this particular Saturday, we had a few hours together while Damien and Jax had some time out. We headed to the small park next to the river and had fun on the playground. We took the long way home so we could see the ducks under the bridge.



Back home we kicked back and had a few refreshing rice biscuits and a drink of juice.


Heysen grabs pole position whenever Oliver is eating. I never have to sweep the floor.



Oliver and Heysen get on very well. Jax and Damien have pets as well - Slim Dog and Fat Kitty - so Oliver is very relaxed around animals. Nana also has a green tree frog (Houdini) and two colourful budgies (Bish and Margaret) so there is plenty to look at and talk about.




Now zipping along on his own two feet, this little man is checking out

everything..

Grandpa's office, potted plants, the dogs water dish, electrical cords, CD towers, TV remotes, stereo buttons, book shelves, carpet lint, drawers, cupboard doors, toilets, steps, leaves, lamps, curtains, even hallway echos...

Not only cute, he's a genius

Oliver is ONE!




I arrived early for the birthday party so I was around to see Damien and Jax wake Oliver for the big event. He's always a happy boy when waking from a nap, and this day looked especially cool in his board shorts.






As the crowds gathered, it was a bit confusing.



Best present of the day is a pool for the backyard. No hesitation from Oliver...wet and wild is the theme of the day.


Jax made a great banana cake with cream cheese icing...yummmmm!

This one year has been amazing.

Not very quick yet, but I've got a training plan...

Oliver and I had our 2nd sleep over in June and it was GREAT!
Ollie wore his 'Chris Caspar Original' striped jumper
and he looked fabulous (as you can see)...





After a few good books and some time together on the porch swing, Oliver called it a day.

This little man owns my heart.

A very nice day in April

Sunday 20 April 2008


We enjoyed some bonding time while Damien and Jackie went to the hardware store.

We talked, we laughed, we shared our shy smiles.

The Sonja hat is a good fit, but I still feel like a putz.
