Catching Up



Alex's mom and grandma visited during his ordination weekend back in November. They enjoyed our trip to downtown Charleston.

What did mommy get you Olivia?? Let me explain. I was driving home alone with the kiddies and just had to zip through the drive thru for a Coke. I went ahead and ordered a kid's size Sprite for Olivia. When the lady handed me the drinks, Olivia saw that I got one for her and yelled "yeah!" That just cracked me up! She felt sooo special that she got her own little drink. After we got home, she walked around with her drink and grinned ear to ear everytime she took a sip. Oh the joy that a little kiddie drink brings!

Olivia is helping mommy clean the windows.

I feel the same way when Victoria and I do something together! Every once in a while...our morning gets so crazy and she doesn't get to sit down and eat breakfast...so we swing into our local McDonalds for a "treat". She feels so important (and big) when she gets to bring in her hotcake meal to preschool and eat breakfast with her teacher! ;)

HOw does Olivia like her little brother?

The pictures are adorable. The other day we went to Fazolis and used their bib, Esther drank out of a straw, and used a "big people" spoon. It was amazing. I didn't even have any baggage to have to bring in. :)

Heather-- that's sooo cute how Victoria takes her hotcake meal to school :)

Shannon-- I LOVED it when Olivia finally got the straw thing! It is great.

Heather-- Olivia is good with AJ. She really doesn't pay any attention to him-- which is good news. She is very sweet to him-- loves to kiss him and pat him and point out his eyes and nose and mouth.

Leah, I'm so glad to see you back! You're little AJ is so cute and looks so old already, must be the hair... :-) I'm waiting to see a picture of the new Leah. I think the first time I met you, you were wearing curlers!! :-) Funny!

Tights are so much fun! The right pair can make just about any outfit cute :)
