The Latest

Well, it's been a few weeks since I posted anything, and Doug reminded me that Olivia's "fans" are awaiting new content. Long story short, she got a nasty stomach virus shortly after we got back from Utah. Shortly after she recovered from that she came down with an icky cold. Needless to say, she wasn't the most photogenic thing over the last few weeks! However, she's all better now, so here's some new pics.

We've been trying to enjoy the nice weather as much as possible (since I know that winter is coming. Ugh.) and have spent as much time as possible outside. She's super into her ride-on toys!



She's also really into playing in her tent. Thank goodness for cheap Ikea finds!

Check out her sweet hair. Doug won't let me get it cut, so she always looks incredibly messy.

And check out what the little miss figured out how to do today!

She's been working on standing the last few days, and taking 2-3 steps, but today she seems like she's finally putting it all together. She stood up & took 10 steps before bed tonight!

Today

Today, I'm loving...

Olivia's new super-cheeser face.


Punk rock bathtimes.


Cousins in matching attire.



(Photos taken from my SIL Erin's adorable blog).

Gap's new City Flats. So cute.


The new Sara Bareilles album. Buy/download it. Now.

And, of course, what I love most of all today is the brave men and women who continue to serve and protect our country. And I am remembering those who lost their lives on 9.11.01. I think back to the many acts of heroism on that day, as well as those who continue to heroically protect our freedom, and feel so incredibly blessed to live in such an amazing place. Never forget.

Family Pictures (continued)

I wanted to share a few more "favorites" from our family pictures by the fabulous Ryan Phillips (he was our wedding photographer, too!). These were all taken while we were in Bend, OR this past July.

























Side note: We had a great trip to Utah... Olivia loved spending time with her cousins, and Doug got the deer he was looking for. All in all, it was a successful week for everyone :). I left all of the photo-taking to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law so once they share some pictures with me (hint hint, Chris & Erin :), I'll post again!
