and presents for Olivia. The fun began last weekend
when Liz and Zak cooked the Henry 3 a wonderful
dinner and brought some treats for Olivia too.
Shortly thereafter, we received a long overdue visit from the
Spains. Olivia had so much fun playing with Katie, Jake,
Aunt Nadine and her new Noah's Ark toy. Thanks Guys!
Too bad our camera battery was dead and we weren't able to
catch any of the excitement on camera.
Then, Olivia and Mama spent the last few days in Iowa
visiting with family and old friends. It was the
first time Olivia has flown without both parents.
Fortunately, things went very well on our flight
and our trip. We even got to see snow!
Yiaya and Papou were so excited to see Olivia.
Olivia had a great time rifling through all of the
goodies on their coffee table and playing hide-and-
go-seek/peek-a-boo with her grandparents.
Olivia was spoiled silly by all of her relatives
and especially Aunt Mimzi. Thanks for the toys
and the pink sunhat!
Olivia also go to spend time with Great Aunt Dawn.
Cousin Mia and Olivia had a blast playing together.
Mia was great with Olivia and loved helping to feed,
bathe, and change her baby cousin.
"I am having so much fun, I don't want to go home!"
In addition to enjoying some Frank's Pizza spaghetti
at Papou's favorite pizzeria, Olivia got to enjoy
some pizza at her Mom's favorite QC pizzeria....
Happy Joes. Jenny, Payton, Katie, and Maker
decided to join us for an awesome Happy Joe's
lunch. After watching me wolf down a Taco Pizza
loaded with taco sauce, my friends decided that
it was no surprise my child loves marinara sauce
and pizza. She ate almost as much as I did!
Despite the fact that she looks excited to be at
Happy Joe's, Payton did not get to enjoy any pizza.
She's only 4 months old! Oh, she's pretty cute too! :)
Here is Olivia with her "older man" boyfriend.
Maker was great about sharing toys and crayons
with Olivia. He didn't even get mad when she
threw them all over and started to eat them.
Don't they make a cute couple?
Mommy's oldest friend, (no, that doesn't make
her old), Angie, made a special trip over to B'dorf
to visit as well. Mommy has been friends with Angie
for almost 25 years!
On a side note, Olivia managed to get into a little
mischief in her non-baby-proofed quarters. Here is a
photo of her throwing some toys into the office trash can!
And finally, home at last with just Mama and Dada!

She is too cute! She looks so much like you, Kate and then she gives those "Pat Looks" to the camera! Hilarious. Mia looks just like your Mom.
Wow, you've had a lot going on! I feel like we haven't talked in forever (even though it hasn't been THAT long!) Holy cow, as if you and Mimzi didn't look alike, now there are 4 of you!!!!! Y'all look like you had a great time and I'm glad Livi did well on the flight. Call you tomorrow!
