Spur of the Moment Fun





Saturday we took Olivia to Barnes & Noble for Storytime. It did not go so great. There are just too many other books for her to get excited about, and honestly the lady reading the story was not that enthusiastic. We hadn't been to the Pearland Town Center in a while, but of course Olivia remembered that they have a cool fountain for splashing. You can't put anything past her, so we stopped for a while to play in the water even though her momma was totally unprepared for getting wet.

Cool Down








The weather in Texas has finally started to cool down to the mid 80s so we decided to head back to some of our favorite parks with some friends. Olivia and I both needed some fresh air and a break for Dora.

Olivia's First Day of School




Tuesday was Olivia's first day of school through the Mother's Day Out program at one of our local churches. She will be going two days a week for 5 hrs. This is the longest she's ever been away from me. I think I got most of my crying out of the way after her Open House. We both had a pretty great first day. She didn't start crying until I was almost out the door. Her teacher said she had a good day, but did a little sympathy crying when the other kids got upset. She new all of her colors and she ate half of her lunch. She didn't take a nap (she's been fighting them at home too), but she played quietly and didn't bother the other kids. We have been talking a lot about going back tomorrow, but I think the second day might be a little harder.

Happy Birthday Olivia










I cannot believe another year has past! Olivia celebrated her 2nd Birthday on Saturday with lots of family and friends. Both sets of Grandparents and Aunt Ana and Uncle Brad were able to come to visit. And she had a party with lots of friends at Jumpin Jungle. All of the kids had a blast!
Olivia has changed so much in this past year. She is already showing some "terrible two" behavior, but she's too cute to stay mad at. I can't wait to see how she handles the year ahead. She is sure in for lots of changes. I know she will make us proud. We love our sweet girl!
