Tom is plugging along at work and school, I am keeping busy at home and working hard to find Olly-friendly work, I had a nice birthday (turning 26--yikes!), Russell has been misbehaving as usual, and Mr. Oliver now has two bottom teeth and according to the doctor, weighs 20 lbs, 3 oz and is 27.5 inches long.

We have all recovered from our various ailments; we are doing a little better financially and even have a little left over for fun extras; and I wouldn't say we are officially baby whisperers, but we are improving our levels of figured-Olly-out-ness, which always helps.
