For the few blog readers still remaining, a brief picture recap of the last 5 months. (Our long absence from this blogworld was due to an unreliable computer whose memory was so full I couldn't send an email.)

A few pictures of our busy, busy boy. I'm so grateful that he enjoys cuddling up with books throughout the day to give us both a break once in awhile.

Here is Oskar gleefully unpacking a Christmas package that I was preparing to send.

We continue to enjoy hiking with our little man, but at 30 pounds it is no longer a walk in the park.

Oskar loves a good mess. Here he is splashing around in Kooper's water bowl.

Cutie patutie.
Visitors from Chicago! Oskar enjoyed meeting his great-uncle Doug and cousin Daniel back in March.

When Mark took the train back to North Dakota for his grandmother's funeral, Oskar and I headed to Portland where we enjoyed our first visit to the zoo. Oskar was more interested in all the kids on field trips than the animals, but I did catch a picture where he is at least pretending to be interested in the mountain goat. Oh well.

Oskar catching up on the news with Aunt Jenny.

Mormor visited us in April for two weeks while gramps was in Haiti.

This kids loves a good book.

The book Numbers gets two thumbs up!
