Christmas is coming . . .

I'm wanting to get a good picture of Olivia for our Christmas cards, so we've been doing photo shoots at home. It's been rough though since Olivia throws a huge fit everytime I put a hat on her head! I did get lucky with a couple though, here they are:

Excited about Obama!

Okay, so this post is not about Olivia, but I am just so excited that our new president is Barak Obama. He won by 4%. I have been a strong supporter of Obama since I first heard of him. I just watched McCain's speech and was touched it. I'm very glad that he pledged his support to Obama and our country. I think he went out honorably.
Now it is time to move forward and make this a better country. I hope that everyone can follow McCain's lead by supporting our new president and banding together to make America great.
Congratulations to Barak Obama!

Halloween

So it's been a few days since Halloween. I'm running a little behind.
For Olivia's first Halloween she dressed as a sunflower. When I got off work we went back in to show off to my co-workers. Then we went to FTIA to the Halloween open house. We couldn't get candy (not old enough yet), but we visited with Amanda and Kathy and other FTIA parents. Olivia played with a little baby boy from Guatemala who is a few months older than her. She chased him around the room.
After FTIA we came back home to pick up sissy and daddy and headed to Boonville. My mom works at Buehler's so we stopped there first. Then went to Aunt Glenda's, then to Uncle Danny and Joann's, and finally to Susie and Dennis's. It was a long night for all of us and a lot of driving. I think everyone liked seeing her, but I think I'll be glad when we can just walk the neighborhood to collect candy and call it a night.
By the time we got home Olivia was in melt-down-mode. It was the only picture I got from the night, so here it is:
