Goodbye '09 Hello'10!!

Oliver and his Moms rang in the new year with a week full of fun and laughs. The week began with a trip to the doctors office for a case of pink eye yet again. Oliver was a perfect patient but he definitely played up the "sick" role for the doctor.
We followed-up the doctors visit with a trip to the hair salon. Oliver, again, was the perfect client. He sat still and was very patient while the hair stylist perfected his new hair-do.

After his haircut, Oliver and his Moms headed home (nearly avoiding a bad car accident in the snow storm) and prepared to go to Auntie Q and A's house for some New Year's Eve festivities. Oliver got some awesome Winnie the Pooh toys from Auntie Q and A which I'm sure he will play with for a very long time.
His Aunties also taught him how to play Euchre. Oliver became quite a pro and even helped Q with a hand or two.
Unfortunately, the Novoa's didn't make it 'till 12 am to ring in the New Year but we were all there in dream spirit. The next day, we all woke up and headed to Lowell for the Lowell 1st Run 5K road race. Oliver and Jennifer cheered me on while I ventured on to the wet and muddy road to run my little booty off. It was great to come around the final corner and see my beautiful family there.
We capped off the New Year's weekend with a "little" snow storm which provided lots of fluffy snow for Oliver to play in. He got all bundled up and ventured out to help his Moms shovel.
It's nice to finally have a man around the house to help us with all the chores. He's becoming so self-sufficient.
