Vacation Part 1

Vacation time! We are off for a little visit to family back in Indiana. On the way out we spent a few days in Phoenix enjoying the warm weather. We visited the Desert Botanical Gardens (and hence saw A LOT of cacti) and took advantage of the hotel pool. Vacation stop number 1 was a success. Next stop: Fort Wayne (aka "The Wayne")

Conversations With Olive

Molly turned the video camera on the other day and just let Olive go. You can tell that Olive has no trouble keeping up her end of the conversation. Molly then took all the clips and put together a really cool little video.

Enjoy!

Olive's Clip Clops

Olive loves to get into my closet to try on my shoes. She calls them "clip clops" because of the sound they make on the tile floor. (Today, as you can see, was a pants optional day.)

Happy Mother's Day!

Nothing says Mother's Day like a ride on an old steam engine train. Today we traveled to Williams and took a ride on the Grand Canyon Railway's Vegetable Oil Powered Steam Engine. The railway was having special train displays, cabooses and model trains set up since May 8th was National Train Day. (I'm sure you all celebrated in you own ways...) Olive of course loved all the excitement. "More Trains! More Trains!" was the mantra of the day. We had a lot of fun and I'm glad to be a mother to such a sweet little girl.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there, whether you be a mother to a two legged creature or four legged one!
