Vickie (Adam's mom) sent me this poem today. And then I was glad that I didn't make Adam delete this picture from our camera, because it fits perfectly! :)

A tiny cry within the night,
A mother’s touch, a gentle light,
A rocking chair, a cheek caressed,
A baby to a bosom pressed,
A bundle in a cot replaced
A mother’s footsteps, soft, retraced –
She whispers as the shadows creep…
“Now let me sleep! Please, let me sleep!!!!”

Lynn Johnson (b. 1947)

I love it--that is so sweet. I hope you're getting a little more sleep as time goes on, Aimee. But Oliver always seems to be completely peaceful and mostly sleeping in every picture you post! What seems to be the problem? Hee, hee... :)

And just look at the hair on that boy's head! :)

Hope you're gettinng as much sleep as me, mom! (Which you probably aren't)You know..."Why doesn't Oliver sleep like he does when he takes naps?" That quote was from my mom, you see.
