Not A Tomboy Yet...

Olivia loves putting on her lipstick, wearing her bracelet, and getting her purse ready for a night out!  Is she going to be girly or what?

Olivia At 16 Months

I love this picture! She looks so sweet and innocent...

A Bookworm

Isn't that toddler body so svelte!  Olivia has recently discovery the joy of reading and there is nothing that she likes to do better than to sit in your lap with a picture book.  She points to the pictures and you tell her what it is.  Sometimes I quiz her and I am surprised at how quickly she learns.  Her favorite pictures?  Dogs and cats!

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Gorant

Kristen and Sam were married on July 5, 2008 and it was a BEAUTIFUL wedding.  They were married at St. Peter Catholic Church (which is where we were married) and the reception was at Keeneland.  The wedding had a very distinct Kentucky theme.  The band, though, was from Ohio and is an Ohio State favorite -- Shuckin' Bubba.  I must say, I have never heard a band that played "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Bringing Sexy Back," "Ice, Ice, Baby" and "Jump Around" all in the same set.  They were incredible!

A New Trick

Olivia has a new trick that Uncle Chris taught her -- she loves to stick out her tongue at you! I was rocking her to sleep the other night and she was almost asleep, when suddenly she shifted her eyes to look at me mischeviously and then stuck her tongue out at me! Imp! I got so tickled that I couldn't quit laughing, which in turn made her laugh hysterically -- it took me 20 more minutes to get her settled down for bed. Uncle Chris has created a monster!

Fourth of July

A friend of mine made this dress for Olivia -- I thought it was perfect for the 4th of July!

Beef Ravioli

I think Olivia likes beef ravioli almost as much as she likes spaghetti!
