Thanksgiving 2009 has come and gone as we prepare for Christmas. The lights went up today on the house..... it seems like yesterday that we were taking them down after Christmas 2008. Olivia has been with us for two years and it seems as though she has always been here. She was, in reality.... here always in our hearts. She continues to develop her vocabulary and her academics are excellent. She asked to learn guitar as both her big brothers play. She takes weekly lessons and is doing well. She started gymnastics at the YMCA this past fall and has been advanced by invitation to join the "preteam". We are not sure really what this designation means as she will compete at level 3 (of 8) starting in January. She loves gymnastics and smiles constantly when she is doing her routines. The attached pictures include Halloween, Olivia and Emily at Disney last May, Olivia and Emily at "A Bug's Life (3D glasses), and Olivia and her brother Matthew. Fun times.
