Beautiful Reader

So, Oliver had a lot of fun in Idaho!  Mommy talked to him on the phone last night and he couldn't stop talking, it was so cute!  Oliver's plane got in around 8 tonight, so he is staying one more night with his Daddy.  Mommy will pick her little traveler, missing an upper front tooth kid up tomorrow after school.  She is really, really missing him.  

Mommy wants to acknowledge someone special tonight.  Cousin Denny has been reading Oliver's blog for a long time.  Its nice to share our thoughts with people who care.  Denny and Oliver got a chance to really meet each other when we were in Indiana.  They talked a whole bunch and Oliver really likes Denny, just like Mommy always has.  Denny posted something on her Facebook page this weekend that Mommy wants to keep documented in Oliver's blog:

Steve & I were nominated to do the ice bucket challenge, by our beloved grandson, Brayden, in an effort to raise ALS awareness. We have elected to make our donation in memory of a man we did not know, but who was very special to a young cousin, named Oliver. We donate in memory of Oliver's "Bhuta," his grandfather who passed from ALS. We challenge everyone reading this to consider donating to this worthy cause, or any cause of your choice.

It is amazing how much a silly ice bucket challenge has brought so much awareness to ALS and Mommy hopes that something good can come from all the money that has been donated.  ALS is so heartbreaking and Mommy wants to thank Denny for thinking of Oliver's Bhuta and for being such a beautiful reader of the blog.

Sweet Denny and Oliver

Oliver and Bhuta.

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)
