Feb. 13, 2008

A year ago today I was on eggshells, my head in the clouds ... and every other cheesy line you can throw out about being nervous about something. :-)

We laid eyes on Oliver for the first time on Valentine's Day of last year.

A whole year. So short, and yet so long. Who knew? I think my father-in-law summed it up best yesterday:

"Seriously? It's only been a year? I have to admit, sometimes I forget that you didn't give birth to that boy."

Yeah, me too.

    MG, I happened upon your blog just before Oli came home to you. Yes, a year is a very short/long time!

    You are truly blessed....loved from both ends of the age spectrum. Your FIL sounds like a gem!

I enjoy spirited debates just as much as pats on the back. Feel free to grab your soapbox and let 'er loose ... realizing, of course, that I am in charge of the all-powerful DELETE button. :-)
