Exciting

We have finally set the date for the C-Section...November 17th. And, we have the first slot of the day...7:30am. We are so excited to meet baby Nina Joy.
So, the count down begins...5 weeks and 3 days. I won't start counting the hours yet.

Olivia is growing up so fast. I can't believe she's already a year old. She's so beautiful and funny and kind. Just like her sisters, Haley & Maddy. They are all so blessed to have each other.

Here it is almost Halloween and I'm remembering how we had put Olivia in this cure little Tigger costume last year...the poor thing was only a month old. This year, we have a little fairy costume for her. We had to find something that didn't have anything that was supposed to stay on her head...she's not into that at all. (Can't say that I blame her.)
We're going to the pumpkin patch this weekend so we should have a lot of fun pictures to take.
Be back soon!

Bath time

Olivia still loves bath time. In fact, if we're still filling up the tub for her, she is actually trying to get her clothes off and attempting to climb into the tub herself! Crazy kid! No matter how crabby she is , if she sees the bathtub with water in it, she lights up!

It's Fall

So, we have several apple trees in our yard and Haley took Olivia out to explore.

Olivia's Birthday Party-Sept 27th

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is Olivia's 1st birthday! Happy Birthday Olivia! We love you!

Here is one of her portraits...She looks so grown up!

Count Down...

The countdown is on to Olivia's birthday party and our house looks like a tornado hit it. However, we no longer have new appliances sitting in the living room! Frank and Rich put the stove and fridge in and they look great! Now, if we could just get new cabinets and countertops...oh well, someday.

I can't believe my baby is going to be a year old! She's beginning to look like a toddler now and not so much like a baby. She can practically run across the living room, she 'scolds' the dogs with a pointed finger and she jabbers like she's having this amazing conversation with you. Where did the time go? Wasn't it just July when she was still crawling? I am amazed at her everyday! What a blessing.

Workin' for a Livin'

Last Friday, Frank brought Olivia down to my office (Kibble & Prentice) in Seattle for a visit. Many of my co-workers have only seen pictures and a video or two of Liv walking. Everyone had a great time, especially Olivia! She walked EVERYWHERE!

Above is a picture of Olivia and me in the elevator.

Olivia "filing"...(Boy, do I look pregnant or what?!)

She liked my calculator...maybe she'll be an accountant? Everyone knows mommy's not good with numbers...
Here's Olivia sitting in my chair...she's a natural!

What a great way to end the work week. Showing off my daughter to everyone at work...although, they see plenty of her since my cubicle walls are covered in pictures of her!
