5 years ago, in a land far, far away (called England) Oliver Patrick Hughes was born. Sorry for the gratuitous genital shots. I obviously wasn't filming.
In his first year of life Oliver saw & taught his parents many things.
He taught his daddy how to not change a diaper.
He started traveling young w a trip to London at 8 wks.
He saw an all inclusive resort in Mauritius where, among other things, he went deep sea fishing & blended w the locals.
He enjoyed his life in Cambridge, England.
He got to visit other different countries such as:
Budapest, Hungary
Ireland
Prague, Czech Republic
He got to ride on the tanker w daddy to visit where our new home would be in Wichita, KS.
Then it was back to London one last time bf we said goodbye to England!
We visited family in Illinois where he celebrated his first St Patrick's Day in the Quad Cities Parade.
Then...
in another land far, far away (called Rockford, IL) we celebratedOliver 's first bday with about 50 of his closest Hughes relatives.
He got his first haircut!
Then we were off to make our new life in KS. Life was a little more quiet here, but like always, we tried to blend in w the locals.
The next thing we knew,Oliver was turning 2!
We welcomed a new member to the family.
We potty trained!
We said bye to daddy a lot that year.
We blinked & another year went by & then in another far, far away land, calledAlabama we celebrated Oliver 's 3rd bday w Ryan at SOS!
