Worked in the yard all day. I’ve been wanting to make this little area in our side yard pretty and my own ever since we moved in. It’s what I see while washing the dishes from my kitchen window. I planted 4 different types of tall field grasses, Coreopsis and Mexican heather.

Dear Dad/Chris
Olivia and I are the luckiest girls in the world to have you in our lives! We appreciate everything you do for us.
You will stop at nothing to make us laugh....
and we KNOW that's not always an easy job!
You pick through sticky candy wrappers and popcans in the garbage of a school bus at 6:30am to find a beloved stuffed animal-all with a smile on your face.
You take us on the best vacations.
You are a man of many talents and sold the car of your dreams to buy me the house of mine.
You make me feel like the most loved woman in the world. I couldn't ask for a more thoughtful caring husband.
Thank you for being such a wonderful father to Olivia. I hope she grows up and marries someone exactly like you!
We love you with all of our hearts! Happy Father’s Day!!
Melissa and Olivia

Liv told me last night that after she broke her arm and we came home from the hospital, she really enjoyed making a little nest in her Dad’s recliner, watching TV all day-being waited on hand and foot-and she wanted to do it again. So here we are again, 2 1/2 weeks later. I guess I’m partly to blame, maybe I was too good of a nurse. 
Maggie was worried about her.

Check out Olivia and her best friend Drew’s website
They hope to make the world a better place. What Olivia doesn’t realize is that she’s littering when she throws her popsicle wrappers in the yard or wasting energy by leaving every light on in her bedroom when we leave for the day……Hey, it’s the thought that counts right?

New Sling
Posted in Uncategorized on June 4, 2009| 2 Comments »
I felt Olivia needed something a little cuter than the ugly sling she came home from the hospital with. So after a little research, I found the sweetest woman in Boca Raton, FL. She owns a company called Sling Couture (SlingCouture.com), they make the cutest little slings. Olivia’s has royal blue sequins on it, but they come in all sorts of colors. Even though you have a broken arm…you can still be fashionable! Liv got so many compliments on it today and felt extra special. They’d never seen anything like it at her dr’s office. We call it her “bling sling”.
On a side note, Olivia’s dr appt. went great and she’s progressing nicely. Next appt. is 3 weeks from today for a new shorter cast and removal of stitches. After the appt. we had lunch at Panera and then went shopping at the mall for comfy clothes that she can get on over the cast….and of course one more Webkinz.

Olivia’s feeling great and recovering faster than we’d expected. Mom’s still a little frazzled and very tired. I’m not sleeping, reliving the whole experience over and over. Kids are resilient, adults-not so much.
