Thank you to everyone who came to Olivia's second impromptu birthday party. It was about 55 degrees out that day, which doesn't seem too cold until you're out in it for three+ hours. It was so nice to be out in the fresh cool air!
Olivia was a little freaked out at first. Living in Louisiana, she's never had so many people in the same place who knew her name- let alone looking at her and wanting her attention. At first, she wanted up in my arms and with Deagan in the front baby carrier I'm sure that was a great laugh for all there!
Then she noticed the bouncy slide, catepillar and bounce house- all familiar things from Planet Jump down south. We went and played on those for a minute and that broke the ice. That is until everyone crowded around to sing happy birthday to her....yeah she busted out in screaming tears and ran in the other direction. After calming down she returned. And an hour later was bribed by a sucker to open presents in front of those same people that were staring at her! Funny things kids do! Hopefully she'll know everyone a little more soon. We were just on the computer going through the photos from the party and she remembered all of the names and faces, so I guess she did take it in.
Anyway, it was nice to see you all and so sad that everyone else couldn't be there. Oh yeah, and Jeff drove down (17 hours straight!) to surprise us Friday morning. Having him at her party was the best part of the weekend:)

OMG!! You're like wearing vests and sweaters and pants!!! Where are you again? Antarctica? It looks REALLY cold. Ha-Ha! Well, we went to the pool yesterday and it was low 80s. I'm wearing a tank top today (and not sweating). It's funny how this is my "fall" and that is yours.
Looks like Olivia had a great party...despite being overwhelmed. She just needed Maddy and Laney there to hold her hand and play with. Thanks for the pictures! We miss you terribly! Come back anytime...
