These are some new pic's of Olivia. This is her first time in a highchair, and some shots at home, playing in Mom and Dad's room.

I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!

She is getting too dang big! Kari caught her being cute and getting up on all fours!

Shaun is leaving soon:( We have just finished a crazy move from our little house to live with my Mom and Dad. We drive Shaun to Turner Falls, MA on Aug 27th. I am getting a little sad at the thought of it. Olivia is now sitting up, all by herself! Shaun has been coaching her, and on Sunday I came downstairs to find her sitting up, just like a big girl. She is so much fun, and we are enjoying every minute. Shaun especially is trying to fill every min with Olivia. It's a good thing that she totally adores her Daddy;)

A fun idea and something to keep me busy while Shaun is gone

The Gift That Keeps On Giving I totally copied this from my friend Audi, but I think that it sounds like fun! I hope someone else will want to do this with me!! SOOOOO come on friends! I will make you something really fun, I promise:) Here's how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Just the thought of receiving something in the mail that isn't a bill is delightful! Come and play! Now, remember "ya get what ya get and ya don't throw a fit".And don't get your hopes up too high, but I will do my best!

Shaun's Photography

Well, as most of you know, I (shaun) will be heading to Mass. in september to go to school for 10 months. It's gonna be a trying time, but while i'm up there, I will be putting most of my experiences and work on my photography blog. You should check it out. It's a bit boring right now simply because I deleted all my old posts because I got frustrated with the computer and couldn't figure out exactly how to manipulate the site to do what I wanted to it to do. After a minute (and ramen noodles) I figured it out. So I have one post on there at the moment. But just so you are all aware, Kari will put still put a bunch on this blog because I will go crazy if I don't see my girls often, but if you want to see what I'm up to in school and some of the stuff I'm doing, check it out. the link is to the right.

Just plain obsessed

Kari and I are boring married folks that love taking pictures of our little girl. Kari took some of me and her, we took her outside in the back yard and Kari helped me take some of her. Kari even put her in a laundry basket during the garage sale! We love that she's playing back with us now.

We love this little outfit her aunt Cheney got for her, the little apple of her parents eyes!

Already so dramatic!

Poor thing, we layed her down and no sooner did we get the camera ready did she vomit all over herself! This was the look she gave us that was a nice combination of too much sun and after vomit face.

Break your heart beautiful!

While Kari was trying to get some rest before her shift tonight, I snapped some pictures of Olivia in between naps. I can't get over the fact that she's my little girl! I love my family so much it hurts sometimes!
