Zoo and Who?

I just have to say that Olivia has AMAZING fine motor skills! While on a walk in the graveyard (it's a very pretty one and a great place for Luci to run), I was holding her as we looked at some flowers. Then we saw what looked like some sort of lightening bug sitting on the top of her stroller. With her arm out, I thought "Oh, she wants to touch it....sure." Thinking she wouldn't quite make it, we leaned over a little and with in 1 second flat she had grabbed the bug between her thumb and finger and squished it dead. I was impressed!
We went to the Springfield Zoo 'free day' last weekend. Perfect weather, but a gazillion people there! Lots of interesting ones too.....almost like some of the animals we saw! But hey, it was free.

These were the flowers that Justin and Olivia planted....errr...Olivia watched...for 1/2 of it. Olivia enjoyed eating and squishing the dirt in between her fingers! I don't have an "after" picture, but they look great!
Ok Olivia, Who's your Daddy?
The men of Justin's school had to dress up for "The Big Give" because their school raised so much money.
Thanks for the shirt Aunt Tara & Uncle Will!

Nice dress, Justin! But don't you think the makeup is a little heavy??? Perhaps you should try other skin tones that don't clash so much with the hair!

Olivia is just so cute! One week and counting!

I love the bug on the stroller story! You'll have to watch her with the spiders this summer ;)
