A Day Away

Today I spent about 7 hours away from home to attend a family baby shower for Tony's cousin. Since taking custody just over three weeks ago, that is the longest I have been away (even overnight, since I've gotten up at least once with Oliver each night). Honestly, the time away was nice but a little too long! I really missed my guys. While I was away, Tony sent me these pictures -- and in this order:

The shower was great and I had a terrific time catching up with everyone. While I was out, one of our small group friends came by with two of her kids for a quick visit (I hear Oliver got a little overly friendly, so I hope he didn't scare them off), and blessed us with treats and a couple fun gifts for the little guy. 

When I got home a good friend of mine stopped by to bring us meals, treats, gifts and a chance to catch up. Since she left, Oliver has been very attached to the play tool set their family gave him! He is "fixing" all sorts of things. So cute! Here he is opening his pretend food with his pretend pliers. 

Now if he would just go to bed before midnight...
