25 weeks!


Here's a belly shot for all of you who have been wondering! I am 25 1/2 weeks (almost 6 months!). Only 14 more weeks to go until we meet our next baby girl (unless she decides to come early like her big sister)!

It's Apple Orchard Time!







Last weekend we went to the apple orchard with our friends, Dan & Lisa. The apple orchard has a huge kids' area with a slide, pumpkin train, picture cut-outs, mazes, hay piles, etc. Olivia wasn't too sure at first and wouldn't ride on the train. However, once she saw the slide, she was overjoyed! She loved going down the slide with her daddy. She also loved the caramel apple suckers thanks to Dan!

New Playhouse!






Olivia got a new playhouse a few weeks ago. When it was nice outside, we had it on the porch. Now that is it a little colder, she thinks it's great that it is inside. She really enjoys playing in it, especially when her own chair and table are in there. She also loves to ring the doorbell. Samson doesn't think it's too bad either!

Almost 2....dressing up in our tutu!














We had pictures taken for Olivia's birthday invitation and since she will be 2 soon! She loved dressing up in her tutu! We liked her pictures so much last year in the tutu, we decided to do it again! She looks like such a little girl and not a baby anymore, especially with all that hair!

Family Photos












We had some family photos done about a month ago! It's so hard to believe how big Olivia is! She will be 2 in 4 days!

In Sault Ste. Marie












While Frank was busy at his conference, Ali, Olivia, and I went to the locks and saw the big boats go from Lake Superior to Lake Huron, went shopping, went swimming, and relaxed. Then, when Frank was free at night, we did many of the family activities that the conference had to offer. We went putt putt, went to the night dessert receptions, the Soo Locks Dinner Boat tour and dinner, and the annual bonfire. We had a lot of fun. Olivia loved trying to hit the golf balls, seeing all the boats on the water, and especially all the sweets!

At the Falls











Once we were in the UP, we went to Tahquamenon Falls before Frank's conference started. On the way there, we stopped at the edge of Lake Superior and put our feet in...a little cold! Olivia really liked seeing the waterfalls and kept yelling "waterfall"! We saw both the upper and lower falls, which were beautiful!
