We're getting a visitor this year!

His name is Ollie.

We should be receiving a visit from him in January.

**  Update!  February 2, 2007
Ollie is very behind schedule due to a longer than expected visit with another class. 
I am hoping we will see him around Valentine's Day. 
I will post pictures as soon as we have some!

** Update!  Ollie visited us March 20!  You can view Ollie's journal entry from his visit to Texas on Mrs. Stamp's website (link below).  Here are our pictures!
