Beach fun.

Well the weather is tipping the 100's up here so, Olivia and I hit the beach to get out of the heat. On Monday we went alone to Oceanside. It was windy but beautiful and calming. We went on lots of long walks with my feet in the water.

On Tuesday we took Piper along to Seaside. It was much warmer there, warm enough to get pretty wet, but not warm enough to actually go swimming. We stayed and watched the sunset and then Piper spun fire for us. It was really nice. Plus Piper bought the best goodies to munch on. Thanks Piper!

New adventures of Olivia

Well since the last post Olivia has now been to the top of Multnomah, done some yoga with Mama, and gone to her first wedding. Her and I are getting along well on our days together and when papa comes home we go for a walk most nights. She loves that. Olivia loves the outdoors, and to be in her stroller on the go.

Albert had his first day alone with her today. He did not call me a million times like all my co-workers thought he would. He was a little stressed about the feeding but he got through it and even ventured out with her on his own. I am some what jealous though because he got to leave her with Piper for a short time, something I never get to do.

Albert is getting a promotion at work and we are moving into a smaller apartment. We are trying our hardest to stay in Portland and for now it looks like it will work out. I am not going to work too much because I don't make enough to pay a babysitter. I am sure x-ray work will come soon, and that will be good because Albert and I are itching to get back to school, and traveling.

A SHOUT-OUT to all the Parents.

I just wanted to say a little thanks to all the parents involved in our lives. I appreciate the way that we were raised and understand the hard decisions that parents have to make. It's a tough job and some of you never lost sight of the big picture.

Thank you.

Okay, so Olivia has been here for 5 weeks now. This is our second week at home alone. The last of the family is gone. We had sooo much fun with them and are very sad that they are gone. Olivia did so much in her first few weeks. We went to Multnomah falls 3 times, the Saturday Market 3 times, the zoo, Japanese and Chinese gardens, a river boat cruise, Seattle, a mansion,
and the beach twice. Whew!!



Now Albert and I are starting to find out that Olivia likes to move. She wants to be held and does not want you to sit down! We take her for a walk every night when Albert comes home and she loves it. Albert is going to get to spend the whole day with her by his self starting on the 24th. I know they will have fun together :)

We mailed out the announcements and a picture of Olivia this week so look out in your mailboxes! Here are some of the pictures from her first month.
