Weathering the cold - inside.

Olivia displaying the cuteness that she's got to offer.


Her attempt to reach the hats, her 34 1/2" height isn't quite enough just yet.

Trying to call mommy on the phone.
The one in which we do not speak of, shown below!!! Every now and then her dark side will come out, which is why we don't have any cats or dogs.

New outfits and love for the fridge.

Congratulations to Kylie Michelle James for joining the team, hope to see you somewhat soon!


Olivia in a few new christmas outfits playing with her new friend, Farmer Taz, and her farm animal fridge magnets. Look at that smile.

Look closely, is that a mouse in her pocket?

I made a match!
Olivia feeding herself some fruit.

And the new career has begun.

Jacqueline got asked to model some bride's maids dresses with her friend who had an inside connection with the show - unfortunately there isn't much in terms of opportunity to model in Peoria to make it a full time gig.


Yeah, Olivia was stuck at home and didn't get asked to be a flower girl for the show - the first time ever that her heart was broken.

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! There will be pictures posted soon, but wanted to give you all a little info about the holidays. Olivia started her gift-opening on our snow day (December 19th). She got some cool bath toys from Jack (at daycare) and a book and shirt with her name on it from Deb (babysitter). She was not much into opening the presents, so I got to open double the amount this year. After some ear trouble, we headed to Indiana to spend about 2 weeks. We really enjoyed seeing all of our family and visiting Tim's grandma who has been in the hospital. Olivia was pretty skeptical about the different Christmas parties we attended, and I really got to see how much of a daddy's girl she is (as she clung to Tim the entire time)!! We traveled down to Indianapolis for the James' Christmas party and were also able to spend a day with Audrey and Cat! We had a wonderful time but were also happy to be back at home in Peoria. Thanks to everyone for the hospitality and gifts---Happy New Year!!
