Sunday May 5th
Nana, Papa and Aunt Sarah babysat so that Taylor and I could go to church together. It was awesome, we had so much to be thankful for and we were excited to share Oliver's progress with some people there. My note in our journal from that day "We are seeing in the natural what is a completed healing work in the supernatural! Praise God!!" Oliver was really good while we were gone and spent most of the time playing zoo with Aunt Sarah. She is supppper silly and always makes Oliver laugh. She kept saying, "2 lions and an Auntie" and she'd pop her head up from behind the zoo...Oliver was belly laughing. It was so good to see:)
Oliver got this zoo for his first Christmas from Nana and Papa...Nana thought he was a little young for it, but humored me and got it anyway. She was right (there it is, for everyone to see, forever). Oliver barely touched it until this week. Now he loves it. "I play zoo!" He knows all of his animals and the sounds they make (well, some, like the flamingo are just birdie and he doesn't know what sound they make....do you??). He puts the families together (our neighbors gave us a Fisher Price Noah's Ark at one point that had lots of pairs of animals) and tries to find a place on the zoo for every animal, zookeeper and farmer he has...which is A L O T. Since he has shown interest, all the adults in his life have decided we need to have the entire collection of Fisher Price Zoo Talkers...and we generally look for them in every store we visit. In Nana's case, she played the sick kid card to get a price match at Toys R US:) (She'll tell it slightly different, but I like my version better:)

Love it! I know this is a ton of work, Katie, but we love reading it. Can't wait for you to catch up...praising the Lord for the awesome things that have happened between these posts and the present time. Love to little Ollie.
