WIDE LOAD !!!!!




Maybe I should make that a double wide!!! This turned out to be the sweetest picture. That's my mom in the floor crawling around with us. Believe you me, we find ourselves doing some pretty silly things around here. It's so funny how this house has changed. It's become more of a home, a messy one no doubt, but the change has all been for the good. For those of you that don't know, I like to keep my house clean and make sure everything is in the right place. Wow, you just wouldn't believe how far I've come. If I can take a bath, wash the clothes, clean the kitchen and fix something to eat, I feel as if I've made huge accomplishments for the day. The best part of the day is when Olivia wakes up and says, "Mama!" Melts my heart.
This is going to be one of those T.M.I stories, but for those of you that have been there done that, I can already hear you laughing LOUD!!!! I was downstairs posting these pictures and waiting for them to upload. So, I take off upstairs to tell her goodnight before Tyler put her to bed. I'm walking through the house, thinking they're hiding from me, shouting "Where's Daddy and Olivia?" "I'm gonna find you!" After searching every room and getting no response I walk to the upstairs bedroom and find the bathroom door closed, fan on, and Olivia saying dah, dah, dah. Tyler had to "take care of business" and had nowhere to put her, so in she goes with him. I just got so tickled I couldn't stand it. Tyler will kill me for that, but it was soooo funny!!! You all know it's happened to you, too!!! The time we've had to spend with her has been such a blessing, even if it is in the most unexpected places!!!
This is for Tyler's friend, Vince. You're right, Olivia does have more hair than Tyler, heehee!!

This post was great!!! It is amazing what a child can get us to do and we don't care how silly it is!!! I love the picture of you and your Mom!! This time will be so precious to you because I remember how it was for Bill and me with the girls. They do grow up so quickly so enjoy and hold her as often as she will allow!!! God is so good and His mercies are new every morning!!! May He continue to hold your family in the palm of His hand and bless you all!! Thanks for continuing to post!! See ya' in a few weeks!!
