It’s been a long time since I have written and a lot has happened. Olivia has changed a ton. Her personality is now in full swing and she is so much fun to be with. She is now an avid crawler and sometimes it is hard to keep track of her. She is next to me one minute and out of sight the next. Going up the stairs at the moment is easy but she is having a hard time going down the stairs. Once she gets to the stairs she can’t figure out how to turn around, so when she gets to the edge of the stairs she hangs at the edge and then decides her approach wasn’t good enough. So she turns around and crawls down the hall. I keep working with her and it is clear that she can understands what I am saying, so it’s a matter of time.

I know it has been a very long time since either Andy or I have written, so we will see if we can jump back on the horse to keep our site a little more up to date. Since we have last written Andy and I have met both of our new nieces. In Oct we went to MN for Andy to be the best man in Steve’s wedding and also to meet Sophia. She was born to my brother and his wife the end of Sept. Then in November we had the pleasure of hosting my sister and her husband in addition to Alexandria, born Aug 9. After my mom met all of these girls she commented on how they each have their own personalities and this is most definitely true. When my sister’s family left after their short visit I was strongly reminded about how important family is to me and how much I miss having them close by. I really hope that as all three of these girls grow up we can find a way to help them develop close relationships with each other. Right after my sisters family flew out, Andy left the very next day for a trade store in Las Vegas. So Olivia and I are a little bit lonely at home. Luckily I have numerous things planned this week so the time until Andy returns on Friday should go fairly quickly. It is hard to explain to Olivia where Daddy is though. This morning she woke up and looked for Andy and was very upset when he was no where to be found.
