11 Years!

Wow, it's almost hard to remember what life was like 11 years ago. Only one little brand new baby, we were living in an apartment, Joey had just started his first year of teaching.  My life was turned upside down with feedings, diaper changes, and comforting a crying little baby.  This week 11 years ago was completely different than the week we have just had.  This week was filled with soccer practice, play practice, Sammie has a never-ending cough, all of my kids are now in school, homework, piano lessons, piano practice, taking care of the puppy, kids getting themselves ready for school, dropping off at school, picking up from the bus stop.  Things are so different now.  Both times and the times in between have been some of the best times.
Olivia is such an amazing person.  We just love her and who she is growing into.  She's smart, funny, fun, creative, and kind.  Her favorites at 11 years old are:
clothes
her new bike
the color orange
elephants (she has quite the collection)
reading fantasy and historical fiction
drawing
writing stories



 Her birthday loot from Grandparents.
 Her oreo ice cream cake.
