Oliver!

 

Oliver, about 25 minutes after birth

I remember some months ago when I was first told that our son and daughter-in-law were going to name their baby Oliver. My first thought was, 'Oliver. Oh. Liver.'  Really? It's certainly not a name that would have been top on my list. Who names their kid Oliver?

But then Kevin and I walked into the hospital room Thursday evening and I saw that sweet, darling little boy snuggled up against his mama. No kidding, he melted my heart!

Then I saw his face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave him if I tried.

I said, 'He's so CUTE!'  

to which our son responded, 'Don't sound so surprised.' LOL 

Anyway, here's a photo of the little family. I'm going to schedule this to go up in the morning, get the coffee ready, and go to bed. We're going to leave tomorrow morning to go spend a couple days with another grandson (and his little sister and parents) to celebrate his 4th birthday.

P.S.  It's just the strangest thing, 

but Oliver has suddenly become one of my favorite names!

Thank you, Lord, for blessing this family with a healthy baby boy!

Have a great weekend!

P.P.S. I phoned the University of Wisconsin, Madison and talked to a bird expert about the mysterious sound (Update on my eagle post).
