It's a Walk in the Park

 This girl loves to play

Stay tuned....many more play this summer!

The Fun Just Keeps Coming

We have been busy this summer, Olivia her first dentist appointment. I can only hope that she enjoys going to the dentist as much as I do :) I love the feeling of clean teeth afterwards and getting new toothbrushes! We have been enjoying playdates at the park with co-workers from Madison as well as trips to the zoo. Even on rainy days, as we've had a few this summer we have gotten to play at the mall or head to the library, and even visit daycare to check in with her friends. Trips up to Boone to visit the cousins on the farm have been full of fun too.

Happy 4th of July

We attended a baby shower with hometown friends to celebrate Baby Moore, it's so much fun to see our kids altogether. We got to even pet bunnies, Liv loved it. She kept saying, "hi bunny." Then she waved goodbye when it was time to go. There will be even more little kids running around at the next get together.

Fun times!

I took a work trip for a few days to Virginia to attend a Turn Around Arts Conference, which means Olivia had her first overnight stay with the grandparents. She did a wonderful job and had a lot of fun playing with her cousins. It was such a great feeling coming home. She gave me lots of snuggles.

We are looking forward to a trip to Maryland, continuing playing with friends, and a weekend alone with dad later this summer.

Stay tuned.....summer is only half over, much more fun to have!

Olivia and I had a girls weekend as Blake went off on a canoe trip with his friends in Arkansas. The timing worked out as Olivia got double ear infection. It was a trying weekend as Liv decided not to sleep-which gave me my first, second, and third reason to begin drinking coffee. Hoping to get back to our regular schedule. I did not become addicted to caffeine thankfully-but I do appreciate the little kick that it gave me to get through the day. 

We had a very busy weekend.....we went up to Boone to hang out with the Chesnuts. Olivia cheered both Sam and Avery during their ball games. She enjoyed playing at their new house and tried to imitate everything they do.

Olivia loves visiting her cousins!

Over Memorial day weekend Olivia got to help me plant flowers in our pots to brighten up our front door. Liv took her first tractor ride on our mower, it was exciting. She loves being outside and I foresee a summer of hanging outside from morning to night. I am excited to begin our daily walks again throughout the neighborhood and start some other summer adventures as weekly trips to the zoo, parks, pool, and the library.

We also visited Boone again and while at the grandparent's house Olivia got her first goose egg on her forehead. It was a doozey-it was so sad to see her falling and not being able stop her from hitting her head on something. She rolled with the punches as after she gave a few minutes of crying, she went right back to doing what she was doing. This girl is fearless!Summer vacation has officially begun, we started off by having lunch with dad. Then we headed to Scratch Bakery for something sweet, took a walk, and then got Olivia's first haircut. She looks so grown up and adorable. We got a little baggy with her curls that were snipped as a keepsake.  

Stay tuned.....if this is how enjoyable each day of summer is going to be, I can't wait!
