Happy Birthday Olivia

My baby is 1. How does this happen? She has been so much fun that the time has flown by like crazy. I have enjoyed every second of my little Olivia. She is such a great baby who is fun with a little fiesty-ness. She's my kind of girl. And I love her beautiful blue eyes. My girls couldn't look more different from each other. I'll have to do another posts of all of her firsts throughout this last year. But I wanted to get a few pictures up. We had a fun party for Olivia yesterday - BBQ, cake and ice cream, a pinata, and 80 degree weather. Does it get any better than this? I don't think so.

A little Oedipus Complex, Anyone?

Okay, so I've mopped myself into a corner and thought that I'd get this story down on the blog so I have it for later. I always think I will remember things and I never do. So Addie is a major daddy's girl (major understatement). This was the conversation that we had the other day.

Addie: Mom, my baby Olivia (her doll) can say mama and dada. Isn't that so good?!
Me: That's great. Who's her mama?
Addie: Well, me.
Me: (now curious): Who's her dada?
Addie: Dad. (sounding as though I should know.) Do you know who her sister is?
Me: No. Who?
Addie: Olivia.
Me: Well then who am I?
Addie: (saying this while laughing and almost falling off of the chair) The Dog.

Hmm. . . should I be a little worried? She cracks me up lately.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter! We had a fun easter egg hunt over at Tessa's house (thanks Laura), colored easter eggs, had yummy food and went to our neighbors for dessert. We miss family but love that we have such good friends close by. We also are loving that the weather is warming up a little bit. We're taking every advantage to get outside. The sad thing is that warm to me in Erie is cold and wouldn't leave the house weather in North Carolina. Things definitely have changed. :) But we love where we live and wanted to share a few pictures.
