What a month we have had since the last post on our blog. Of course, there was Christmas and New Year. And, Olivia turned 1 two days ago, and what a year it has been! I love being Olivia's Dad, she is an amazing little person. So smart and funny and sweet, she really keeps us on our toes. Our family life is continuing to evolve in new and exciting directions; Lee is selling Mary Kay cosmetics, in addition to some singing oriented volunteering, and being an amazing Mama to our little Baby Boo. We continue to enjoy time at the farmers market, cooking, and movie night. Daddy is looking forward to spring (already? It's only 5 months away! What?!??), to get some family camping started.
Christmas was great with Olivia and the Franson Family. I will let the video do the talking here, it's at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!
New Years was a bit subdued, Olivia was quite sick, as was Lee, so we had a great meal at the Fran Ranch, and then it was pretty much home to bed. The cold, which more like half a flu, had all of us sick at one point. It was a hard week and a half, but we made it through and we are all feeling much better.
Olivia's Birthday was a blast. She and Lee hosted their play group, so there were five baby's and mommies (in addition to Lee and O) running around our apartment. I came home for lunch, and witnessed the end of the madness. Olivia has been very happy the last few days, seeming to revel in her milestone and the presents and attention she received.
Work is going very well for me, I received a promotion and will be helping management with a strategy to roll out Graphic Design services as a new offering to our clients.
In news of other families, our friends, Marshal and Christie Barker had their first child yesterday. His name is Everett Allen Barker. We just paid them a brief visit at the Hospital, and all are doing well. He is a big boy, at 9lbs 8oz, and super sweet!
Well, we will try to maintain the blog a bit better in the upcoming months. And be sure to check Olivia's photo album for some holiday/birthday shots. I am hoping to get them uploaded soon.
Love to all, and peace in the New Year.

thanks for the shout out! It was lovely to have you visit and bring us goodies. You are so giving. We felt bad about not getting a picture of you holding Everett, but we will have plenty more opportunities to snap some... :)
