My Two Valentines!

Run, Jump, Shout

Honestly I'm not really sure that is the name of the parks and rec class we are taking right now. But believe me, there is a lot of running, jumping, and shouting going on.

I am a terrible blogger!!!

I haven't blogged since Christmas for a few reasons.
1) We broke our camera for the second time in two months.
2) Olivia and I have been sick since New Years. Seriously.
3) We have been busy getting ready for baby #2!
Thankfully, we got a new camera just in time for our baby girl's arrival on February 23! Here's a few pics of Olivia. AKA Big Sister!!

Merry Christmas!

Up at 4am for our flight!









It was our turn to spend Christmas in Michigan this year. Other than the craziness that comes with navigating through airports at this time of year it was a really relaxing time. We went to church on Christmas Eve. Olivia loved seeing Baby Jesus in the nativity. We ate way to much Polish food and stayed up very late. It was so neat to see how Olivia "got" Christmas this year. She said thank you after opening her gifts and she let everyone help her with the unwrapping. She wanted to share the fun! It was also great to see how much Olivia enjoyed seeing everyone. Whenever anyone would walk in the door she would run up and give them a hug. We also got to enjoy some Christmasy weather. Olivia got to go for a sled ride around the front yard. She LOVED it! We can't wait to see everyone again.

Pictures with Santa

Saturday we took Olivia for her Santa picture. Despite the look on her face the pictures went really well. She didn't cry at all and she actually gave him a hug when we were leaving. We talk about Santa a lot and I think she's really going to be excited for Christmas this year.

Let it Snow!!

It has snowed in Houston three out of the five years that I have lived here. Last week's snow was the best by far! Olivia and I skipped cooking class to enjoy the weather and Luis was actually sent home from work early! It was great while it lasted. Olivia loved playing outside. Every once in a while she would look out the window and say, "There's snowmen out there mom!" I think she's ready for her trip to Michigan this Christmas.
