4 years old


Olivia's birthday always comes with a lot of emotion considering she was born on september 11th. I remember when the Dr. told me that was my due date my first thought was no one wants to have that as a birthday, and second no one has babies on their due date so who cares. Turns out both thoughts were wrong. Yes in fact people do have babies on their due dates and now every year on 9/11 I am reminded that amazing things still happen on sad days. We are so blessed to have Olivia in our family. She is 4 going on 14. She takes really good care of Mya and is convinced I am having this baby just for her to take care of. She started dance classes this month and is the cutest little dancer you will ever see. As much as I love watching her grow and learn new things it also makes me want to stop time and keep her this way forever. On our way to my parents house last week she said," Mom I see Ikea over there." I said "How did you know that?" she said, " Mom, I have smart eyes."
Yes, Olivia you do have smart eyes. We love you so much!! Happy birthday sweet girl.
