Barely six and already her teeth are falling out!

My baby is 6!!

We are just wrapping up Olive's birthday week - and what a week it has been. The highlights included:
a special visitor from Grace all the way from Texas; a spy kit; a big chocolate cake with all of our neighbors; cookies at school; a visit from Nona and a big party at the Y complete with a bouncy castle and a Spongebob pinata!!! Whew! No wonder I am so tired.

Here is the 2009 Olive birthday shirt design. It is my new favorite!

This is a great shot of Mari laughing as Olive tries to blow out the trick candles.

Another blow-out (with Mari in the foreground).

Olive loves being six. Me, not so much. My baby is getting so old so quickly!

David's brother gets married

Olive helped David celebrate his brother's wedding. We all had a great time and wish Andrew and Samantha many years of married bliss!

Kindergarten photos are in!!

Believe it or not, it was not easy for Olive to choose this white undershirt for her class picture. I think this was the third outfit that she chose.

I am now officially a soccer mom. Olive had her first soccer game today. She really had a great time. As you will see, she is smiling in every picture.
