Happy 35th Anniversary, Honey!

Dearest Tim,

Happy Anniversary, Honey! Can you believe it has been 35 years? Where did the time go?

We won't be together this year to celebrate, but I'll be waiting for you in Germany to join me very soon.

Although I am across the world from you, I wanted to get you something special. I thought about what gift I could give you from here. This is what I came up with--a family blog!

What you see today is only the start. You can share this with others--just give them your web address. Anyone you want can visit from anywhere. I'll be adding to it and changing it.

For now you'll be able to see your new grandchildren through pictures and video. If you want a closeup of a picture, just click on the picture and it will open full-screen.

When you come in July, we can plan a special trip or dinner here.

I love you and miss you, Tim! Happy Anniversary!

Love,

Doretta

Our Mommy and Daddy

Dad is Greg, but everyone calls him Geo.

Mom is Carrie.

Here are a two of our favorite times together. We hope you enjoy them, too!

First, there is daddy holding us and rocking us right after we were born. Dad's so handsome!

Next, there is mommy holding us at six days old. We really wore her out this first week. Mom's so beautiful!

Enjoy!

Dominic & Donovan

P.S. Who do you think we look like besides each other?

Our Life at Home

Dominic in the bouncy

Move over brother! You have to share with me!

Donovan in the swing

Grandma Dorie reads us a story....

Hallo!

This is Dominic Eric and Donovan Erin again. Watch us as we sleep and sing in our newest videos! We are only 6 days old and already star in our very own productions!

Tchuss! (Yes, we are already learning German, too.)

The Olivar Twins

Homecoming!

In Germany it is the custom to hang a line with baby clothes in the front yard or set up a stork. Daddy hung a clothesline to let all our neighbors know we were born. Grandma tried to sneak in something pink, but mommy and daddy got that corrected. No confusion here! We are strong boys just like our daddy. We are so strong that we are nearly rolling over after just six days.


This is our mommy and daddy bringing us home from the hospital. What do you think of us?

Love you all from,

Dominic & Donovan


Did you catch Psycho's reaction? Mommy was hurt when he didn't have anything to do with her for the first day. She says he'll just have to get over it. Jealousy....!

Are They Sleeping?

Are they sleeping,
Are they sleeping,
Through the night?
Through the night?

You know the song...Here is the picture.

Good-bye, Sweet Grandbabies!

Here are a couple of videos of Madison Emily, Aidan Michael, and Kiersten Rose our other three precious grandchildren. Madison and Aidan are now over three years old (born 10 days apart). Kiersten is almost 6 months old.

Love you, kiddos! Grandma misses you tons!!

The Arrival of Our Twins!

Daddy's ready. What about Mommy?

Yes! She's ready, too! So what's taking so long?

I'm not saying which one of us this is,
but watch what you're exposing there!

On Monday, June 23rd, 2008 our gorgeous angel twins were born in Landstuhl, Germany. Daddy Greg is an Air Force Tech Sergeant stationed at Ramstein Air Force Base and Mommy Carrie is a middle school counselor for middle school students. She just resigned as a part-time secretary for Headquarters USAFE.

Dominic Eric Olivar was born at 8:54 am, weighing 6 lbs. 6 oz.

Donovan Erin Olivar was born at 8:56 am weighing 6 lbs. 4 oz.

Both boys are about 19 1/2 inches in length. Currently, they are 90% certain they are identical twins.

Our little family is doing quite well. Enjoy the snapshots.

UPDATE: AS WE WERE LEAVING THE HOSPITAL WITH THE BOYS, GREG RECEIVED A CALL FROM HIS CHIEF. GREG IS NOW A MASTER SERGEANT! GREG SAID THIS WAS THE "ICING ON THE CAKE" ON A VERY SPECIAL DAY.

:0) :0)

Hooray for my daddy! He made it!

He's now Master Sergeant Gregory Eric Olivar, Sir!

DAD SAYS HIS PROMOTION WAS THE ICING ON THE CAKE!

REPORTING FOR DUTY, SIR!
