Hi Oliver, It is nice to see (pictures of) you so soon. Do you have a middle name? I can not wait to show your pictures to Matthew. He loves babies. Tell your mom and dad that I miss them very much. Love, Uncle Jim

Oliver van Druten
was born Sunday March 14, 1999 at 1:55 a.m. 8lbs. 2oz, 20.5" long. He and his Mom Lesli are doing fine. Dad Kirk is beside himself with joy. You can see Oliver at www.lansharks.net/oliver if you have net access. I will see him live for the first time in about an hour.

He has Sagittarius Rising, Moon in Aquarius, and of course Sun in Pisces. His "The Life You Were Born to Live" #s are 36/9, and his Tarot Life-Time Symbol is #9 The Hermit.

He will be adored and supported by his Gramma Gale, and WE WILL HAVE FUN!!

Love to all, Gale

Colin and John informed me early this morning after they saw the glorious

What fun we will have!!
Just some trivia - Did you know that Colin W was born April 14 and "Little"
Sierra was born June 14... and now we have Oliver March 14. I think that's
pretty interesting again, if not trivial..
Here's to sleepless nights but to even more beautiful times you can even

A Picture! 11/18/98 Is worth a thousand words! How very cool! I printed it out and it still reads. Did they cut off the corner 'cause they could tell the sex? Did they tell you to look away from the screen? Was this proceedure done at the same OB's office? How did you feel about your treatment there this time? What technology - ultrasound, and then your scanning and sending via modem! I'm impressed. Looking forward to talking to and seeing you. Thanks for the picture. Love, Gramma Gale
