Out and about...

We have been able to fill our days with some activities that bring lots of fun. Olivia is ready to try it all. Here are some things that we have been up to...
Here we are after our tummies have been filled at Yummy Buffet--
a local Chinese restaurant. We met two families for dinner and
Olivia made some new friends! Megan and Austin have been in the US
for over a year now. It is good to find other families with a similar experience.

The zoo is always fun! Here Angela, Troy and Olivia feature the zebras.
Playing dress-up with the neighbor girls.

Olivia is learning her capital letters. We are up to "R" on this day.
She seems to retain all that she has learned from previous
days and points out the letters she knows on the signs while we drive about.

Meeting more cousins (our kids have 19). This time, some from Troy's side come to visit.
Cousins are pure fun!


The neighbor girls (3 sisters with close birthdays) had a birthday party with this big inflatable. Super cool! Olivia calls it "bouncy-bouncy" and couldn't get enough!

Grandma Cleo came to visit. Here are 3 generations: Cleo, Troy and Olivia. When they met, Olivia wanted Grandma Cleo all to herself, but that doesn't work so well in a family of 6--everyone loves Grandma. She had some very special moments with her as well as learning to share her with the rest of us.

Bubbles...

Pretty in pink!
Angela getting ready to go to dance.

Olivia thinks she should be in dance too. Maybe someday...for now we are focusing on expanding her English vocabulary and gradually introducing her to new and enriching experiences.
