New computer

Our computer died, and it took two weeks to get a new one ordered and set up. Here's our two-week update:

Olivia enjoys the cast-off keyboard from the old computer.

Juice box...my favorite.

Goats at the fair. She's not as fond of them as she was last year.

Discovering the summer joy that is fresh corn-on-the-cob.

"Helping" Mommy clean

B-ville spray park. Olivia loved it...we'll have to do it again soon.

We met friends and their dog...Olivia wasn't sure about doggie kisses.

4th of July weekend

Taking a snack break at HW with Grammy & Cousins Alex and Chris on Thursday.

At the zoo on Friday.

Petting the goats

Giraffe. I want to pet him!

At HW waterpark on Saturday. A rainy, cool day drove away all the crowds, so we had the waterpark almost all to ourselves.

Waiting for the fireworks display on Saturday night.

Whoa! Fireworks!

Zoo pics

Olivia and I went to the Lou Zoo with Grandma on Friday.

Monkey! My favorite!

The monkey in the picture below actually charged Olivia. I guess he didn't like her tapping on the glass. She started dancing around excitedly and saying, "Monkey scary!"

This time, she crawled right up into his lap.

Yeah, Santa's not so scary anymore.

This week

Olivia driving the old fashioned cars at Local Theme Park.

Driving with Daddy

Riding the Dragon on the carousel

Olivia wanted to go kiss Mary after Mass this morning.

Come on, Daddy!

*Kiss* Hi Mary!

OK with Santa

Olivia has always had a wild fear of Santa. Thanks to season passes, we've been able to acclimate her to Santa a bit more this summer. On Sunday, we had a breakthrough. She still won't let him hold her, but she will talk to him.

At Daddy's event

Olivia and I attended a vocations event that Daddy was involved in this week. Olivia went outside to walk with Sr. Joseph.

"Look, Daddy. Sister put a flower in my hair!"
