The girls and I headed to Johnson City the first weekend in February for a quick visit. Paige got to meet a few relatives for the first time and Olivia had a blast visiting friends and family. We also got to experience something we haven't seen since leaving Colorado: SNOW! Oh my, Olivia was in heaven. Unfortunately, we didn't have any snow clothes with us. I ended up putting on every article of clothing we brought on her and she borrowed a few from her cousins. Poor uncle Brett ended up carrying her up the hill quite a few times, because she was wearing Aubrey's rainboots. Rainboots don't get much traction in the snow!
Olivia drove everyone crazy, wanting to build a snowman. The other kids were more interested in sledding, so I got out of the car (Paige and I didn't have snow clothes, either! We sat in the warm car) and helped her build a small snowman. I ran back to the car to get the camera. When I got back, she had invited Aiden to help her smash it, ha!
Visiting:
We were trying to get a picture of all the kids together. I had just told Olivia we had to leave. This is the look she gave me:
Finally, a good one:
Paige was making some really funny faces while Maggie was holding her one night:
She also fell asleep on Aubrey (note the dress up clothes!):
We had a great time!
In other news, Michael and I are still trying to give Olivia special attention. So I decided to try out a Pinterest inspired project Saturday.
Canvas with her name spelled out in painter's tape:
3 different paint colors (pink, purple, and yellow- her choice):
Paige was very interested in the progress:
Ta-da!
Fun stuff!
Look what we found:
She looks thrilled, doesn't she? Poor pumpkin has been battling a diaper rash pretty much since birth. I ended up putting her in cloth diapers earlier than I intended. It does seem to be a little better, but not completely gone. She has her 2 month appointment Friday (can you believe it?!) and I'm hoping her pediatrician will have more recommendations (we already tried everything he said at her 1 month appointment!).
Hope you have a good week!
