Our newest addition...

Meet Little Olivia.  Lila actually named her "Little Olivia" after an epidsode of Olivia (the pig) where Olivia names all the dolls Little Olivia, Little Olivia II, etc...Olivia is like a member of the family.  

She plays with us

Goes places with us, and sits in a car seat base (and we can't leave her in the car, because "it gets too hot and you can't leave babies in the car, Mom!")

See Lila's phone stuck in the side of the car seat?  That is exactly what I do.  She doesn't miss anything!

Here we are leaving Chuy's.  Lila got mad that day because we wouldn't get a sling for Olivia's car seat at the table.

Going to Michael's

Her bottles go in the fridge, and she has just started eating cereal (of course she has her own bowl, spoon and box of cereal)

Her belongings get labeled

She gets swaddled for nighttime

...she also takes medicine for reflux (just like Audrey), and when she is sleeping we are not allowed to go in that room or turn the lights on.

I love my quirky little Lila Bug.

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Hallettsville, and were able to do so many fun things.
On Friday night, we went to Anneliese's t-ball game and then over to the Noska's for dinner

We had story time with Nana,

fed chickens and ducks with Papa G.

Here's how Landry spent the weekend

Audrey watched the Indy 500 with Papa

we met Granny G's new dog, Luvey

and we went to the Sacred Heart Church picnic where Lila 

had a blast.  She rode the train, did the fish pond, jumped, did the cake walk, and played Bingo

Jr. Pre-K Graduate

Last Friday, we attended a program at Lila's school to celebrate the end of the school year, and showcase the accomplishments the kids have made this year.  We have loved all Lila's teachers since she has been at the school (since 4 months old), and this year was no exception.  Melissa and Janet took all the kids to the Cedar Park library every other Monday, had a Chinese New Year parade complete with paper lanterns and dragons, had picnics, dug up worms and always had the classroom decorated to the hilt for whatever theme they were learning about.  Lila learned so much this year; she knows how to write, count to 30, and is beginning to sound out words.  The theme for her class was building self confidence, and they did so many neat art projects, and you know we are big fans of arts and crafts.  

During the program, they sang "My Country 'tis of Thee", recited the Pledge of Allegiance and the Texas Pledge and sang their class theme song, and we watched a slideshow of pictures from throughout the school year.

this was her picture of the slideshow

Theme song:
If what I am is what's in me
I'll stay strong, that's who I'll be.
I will always be the best me that I can be.

There's only one me, I admit
I have a dream, I'll follow it
it's up to me to try...

Oh,  I keep my head up high.
Keep on reaching high
never gonna quit
I'll keep getting stronger

Nothing's gonna bring me down
Never gonna stop, gotta go
'cause I know I'll keep getting stronger.

What I am is helpful
What I am is musical
What I am is smart
What I am is brave
What I am is helpful
What I am is special

There's nothing I can't achieve
because in myself I believe.
I'll keep my head up high.
Keep on reaching high
Never stop, gotta go
'cause I know, I'll keep getting stronger
