random catchup

We often leave the house and forget our camera but Drake has an iphone that takes some good pics. I finally downloaded them and got quite a random sampling. Anyway, thought I would post a few. I also put together a few other posts so there will be one a week for the next couple of weeks! As for us right now, we are just getting through the depths of winter. Its snowing right now for the 3rd or fourth straight day. It makes for a relatively uninteresting time as there isn't a whole lot to do. We spend a lot of time at home and having playdates and dinners with friends. Which is pretty fun itself. Looking forward to some warmer days ahead (though probably not for another month or two) Olivia is growing up so fast now. Quite a little girl. She talks a lot and loves to sing. She is learning her colors-she now has yellow(lellow), pink, orange and sometimes red and green. She is counting and can usually count to 6 or 7, without too much trouble. She sings A LOT. She is even learning her ABC song. She loves to color, paint or do anything crafty. She definitely gets that from Drake and not me! She is a joy to be around and the light of our life!

Christmas Season 2009

By now its become apparent I am not the best blogger in the world. Hopwever, I refuse to give up trying :) Our Christmas Season brought more change. We moved from our cramped, run down house we were renting to an apartment that is almost twice the size and in very nice shape! It was a busy time as we set up our tree in our old house only to find a great apartment we had to jump on. SO we packed it all up took down the tree 5 days before Christmas we moved, set up our tree again and worked on getting settled in our new digs. We spent Christmas alone but really enjoyed our day. Christmas Eve we went to our friends Jayme and Corey's house. They have a daughter Olivia's age and it was a lovely evening! Christmas morning was so exciting! Olivia loved opening gifts and we had just as much fun watching her. We spent a quiet Christmas Day and had a wonderful time together. Leading up to Christmas was busy but full of cookie decorating, a trip to Breckenridge with my parents who came for Thanksgiving and Holiday parties. It is so nice to spend Christmas and our New Year in our new place!
