Fun with Friends!

The other day Becky, Anna, Austin, Matthew, and Maggie came over for a few minutes of play time! The kids had a ball dressing up. Here are a few photos of the gang. I don't think Jason was thrilled with some of Austin's outfit choices, so I will leave those pics out for now :), but they all sure had fun! Ellie and Austin are so precious. Sometimes they are "in love" and other times they wouldn't say so. The other night she brought me a little piece of paper that she had been working on. At the top she had written LOVE in big letters and then underneath she had written Ellie and Austin. It made me smile. It never fails to amaze me that they could spend ALL day together at school and then she'll come home and beg to see him. I hate it that they won't continue going to school together. I hope they will stay friends forever!

Olivia Talks!!!

In the past few weeks, Olivia has really started talking. She is saying all sorts of precious little words and is really starting to communicate with us. She is saying mommy, daddy, Ellie, Gran, Papaw, doggy, kitty, milk, up, all done, night night, hello, hi, bye, and her most frequent - TAGGIE!!! She is growing up so quickly. I remember being so excited when Ellie did new things at this age. It is so different with Olivia. Although it is still exciting to see her grow and change, it is also sad because I know this is the last time we will go through all of this. Olivia has the best personality. She is always happy and smiling. We are so blessed to have such precious girls!!!

Camden Park

This weekend Danny's parents took Paula, Bob, Dylan, Danny, Ellie and me to Camden Park. Camden Park is a little amusement park tucked away in Kenova. Kenova is a little city near Ashland. Danny and I both went to Camden Park often as kids and have fond memories there. It was fun taking Ellie to a place where we both had been as kids. We had such a great time. The weather was great and we hardly had to wait in any lines.
