Dance Olivia Dance!

My dear sweet Olivia,
Tonight I am having one of those moments.... The ones where you wish that time would just hold still. Time however, waits for no one, and in one short hour you my baby, er, um... I mean big girl will be six years old! Has it really been six years?? That once plump little girl has stretched and thinned and I stare at you sometimes and want to say STOP right now, don't change anymore!!!

I have gone through pictures tonight, 6 years worth, and my mind has been flooded with memories and emotions. I was so afraid as a new mommy. I wanted to do everything right. To tell you the truth I am still afraid. I am afraid that you won't know just how much I love you. That maybe I don't tell you enough just how proud I am of you... That I am too hard on you..... That maybe I even don't let you be who you really are...

Olivia you are such a wonderful little woman! Your heart is so tender and so loving. You give so willingly, and so fully. I am so blessed to be your Mommy!! So my dear Princess I made you just a little something for your birthday. A look back from the moment you made this world a better place.

ALL my love!

Mommy

Spring 'Fever'

A bad virus has made it's way into our house. Olivia brought it home from school, and thankfully she is not that all bothered by it. Just a runny nose and cough for her, but Paige has also gotten it and it has been a rough couple of days. Continual fevers and congestion so bad she has a slight wheeze. My poor girl, she looked so miserable I just couldn't resist snapping a few shots of her. I was making lunch on Saturday and she just cozied up on the floor so she could be close to me.


Later her fever hit a high of 103.8, her breathing was fast and she seemed so uncomfortable that I felt I would feel a whole lot better if she was looked at by a doctor. Todd gave me the your over-reacting look, but knew I needed the peace of mind. So off we went. Paige cried the entire exam but everything was fine and I was happy to go return home to hear a loving "I told you so." Paige has been sleeping it off, and thankfully today is doing better.

Snip, snip!!

It was time. Past time really. We had been told one too many times what a darling little girl we have. I don't disagree, we actually have 3 darling little girls, but when they are talking about our only boy, then something has to be done! So Friday we took Aaron in for his first hair cut. Here is a before shot.Here he is getting ready to go.

He did so well holding very still. I had even brought a sucker (just in case), which he held onto but never needed. The ladies loved him!!

Ta-Da!!

I think he feels better about it too! Look at all that self-confidence oozing out of him(along with a little drool)... Dino-mite!!!
