10 Months

We are about a week behind in posting her 10 month pictures. We had a busy week this past week. We just finished out last shoe show until August. Olivia got to spend several days with Aunt Kelly and her two favorite cousins. You can look at her blog to see some pictures of them together.

What A Sight!

Olivia has had a tiring day...what can I say. She got up really early. Her nap schedule was a little off...we played hard at Pastor Jim and Christy's house today with their 3 boys, we went to work to see daddy, went shopping....and more.

Well, here is how the day ended. She had her usual night time routine. I layed her down...all was quiet. I went about cleaning the house and doing laundry. When I went down to the laundry I peaked quickly to see she was sitting up but quiet. So I went on...like 10 minutes later I peaked again and she is sitting in the exact same position...so I actually walked in her room this time to take a closer look!!! Look what I found.

Here are just some fun pictures of her!

New Pictures and a Video

What a great Monday today has been. We have enjoyed staying at the house and doing stuff together as a family. Brad planting all his seeds that he had been winter sowing and I shampoo/vacuumed the van floor while Olivia sat in her stroller eating cheerios and keeping a close eye on the vacuum. She wasn't sure about the noise it was making. She is doing new things every day. I can't even begin to start typing everything she is doing. She is trying new foods every day...not many that she likes...but we are still trying.

Last Friday, Olivia and I got to spend the day with Frances. Olivia just smiles and laughs every time she sees Frances. Frances is a 12 year old that I used to babysit for who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor in November of 2007. She has had the tumor removed and has finished radiation and is in the process of taking chemo. She is one strong fighting girl. You can keep up to date with her journey at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/francesneunuebel. On days that Frances doesn't feel well enough or her blood counts are too low to go to school she hangs out with us some. Olivia loves having play dates. Frances is leaving tomorrow for Hollywood with her family. Some friends of her family were able to get them tickets to American Idol. So they will be in the audience Tuesday and Wednesday night. They will be holding David Cook signs!!! Please pray for safe travels and pray that Frances doesn't get sick while they are gone.

This week is a slow week for us!!! We are looking forward to that. On Saturday we will be babysitting our new pastors kids! They have 3 boys!!! What did I get myself into. Originally it started out as a three night sleep over...now its just one afternoon. We could have handled it...but maybe this is a better way to start off. I haven't even met them yet...we'll have fun. I know Olivia will love it.

Here are a few new pictures of Olivia from the weekend.
