Our Four Year Old Oliver

 Here's the obligatory photo of Oliver in his Monmouth t-shirt.
Every year we take one (or three) to document his growth.
His smile gets bigger and bigger ;)

 A friend got him a pirate ship-shaped birdhouse for his birthday. We painted it the other morning before placing it outside on the fence.

Very colorful, no?
I love doing little projects with my buddy. He had a great time telling me which flag needed to be painted which color... and made sure to include all of our initials around the outside of the ship.
It is questionable if a real bird will actually take up residence, but I will post if this does happen.
