Gage's Birthday

One of Olivia's friends had a birthday party at a local fire station and it was so much fun! Happy Birthday, Gage!

Amy visits!

My friend Amy just came for a visit and this one picture is the only proof I have that she was here. I guess it's because we were too busy having fun. It's always so nice to have her around... I really wish we lived closer. We love you, Amy! Can't wait to see you again this summer!

Soccer

Olivia had her first soccer practice here and it was FREEZING! I thought they would cancel it, but they didn't.  So, we bundled up and went!

Zoo

I love that it's (occasionally) warm enough to get outside now!  We took advantage of it today and went to the zoo with Chelsi and Liam (and baby Ellie).  It was a beautiful day to be outside and Olivia and Liam ran around and burned lots of energy!

St. Patrick's Day

We had a St. Patrick's Day playdate at our house and it was fun to have some friends over and play.  Olivia especially enjoyed getting the snacks together (ahem, eating them while I tried putting them together).

Turkey Hill

We met Missy, Sofia, Abigail, Anna, and Karissa at Turkey Hill in Lancaster yesterday.  Olivia has been really missing her friends, so this was a great chance to meet up with them and eat ice cream at the same time.

Such a fun afternoon!!!

Spring?

We were finally able to get outside and enjoy the nice weather today.  The snow is supposed to return though, so we took full advantage of the sunshine.

And, I think Olivia has started to finally like basketball. Pretty good form too, if I say so myself ;)

New Friends

Here's Olivia with a couple of her new friends.

Playing superheroes with Henry:

We've met lots of really great people here already. We are definitely feeling blessed!

Grandpa's Visit

Jon's dad came to visit for a few days.  We did lots of sightseeing and playing while he was here.  Olivia especially loved all of the hide and seek they played, as well as singing with Grandpa:).  We went to the Chocolate Factory in Hershey, the state capitol building in Harrisburg, ate lots of good meals, had our share of ice cream, and just enjoyed our time together.  I kept forgetting my camera, so I don't have many pictures.  Here are a couple from the chocolate factory, as well as my favorites... the videos of them singing together:

Poohsie Woosie

Olivia's preschool class has a Pooh bear that goes home with one of the students each weekend.  This was our weekend.  We made sure to take Pooh on lots of adventures and then wrote in the Pooh journal so the rest of the class could learn more about Olivia and her time with Pooh.  Here are some of the things we did with Pooh.

Visited Jon at work:

Fed Pooh in Rose's high chair:

Read him a bedtime story:

We took Pooh to the bakery for a breakfast treat on Friday morning:

Jon made pancakes shaped like a beehive for breakfast on Saturday:

 Took a picture with Pooh before church:

Pooh also went with us to pick up Grandpa from the train station. We took him to Hershey on our last day together before he had to go back to preschool:

It was lots of fun! Here's our journal entry:
