anya mae visits!
another action packed day! by pleasant surprise, olivia's friend anya mae came over to play while aunt la la and uncle boomer went to the symphony. it was a day chock full of playing, singing, dancing, book reading, and tickling. other than a few tense sharing issues early on, the day was quite a success in the annals of 1 1/2 year old/ 2 1/2 year old relations. however, the day did claim the energy of two very tired parents. with baby eve coming at the end of june, it is quite apparent that we are hosed.
great pic

sorry, couldn't resist posting one of the best pictures... ever.

ma and pa
ma and pa came to visit this weekend, and olivia couldn't be happier. we took a really long walk, saw some squirrels, picked some flowers, and had a really good time. the one downer of the day was the cancellation of the
gymboree music class. but, the folks there were nice enough to let olivia run around and play during the 15 minutes between classes. the kid's a riot... running from one apparatus to another. needless to say, we are going to have one tired olivia by the time ma and pa leave.
more from the door

i'm still working out the kinks with the albums, but i'm not going to let that keep me from posting more pics of my girl. i put up some
photos from sunday. i know, there's a strange continuing put-on-shoes-in-the-door motif going on here. what can i say? the kid likes doors and shoes.
more changes/improvements/tweaks to come for the albums. i also plan on updating the design of all the "sister" sites, so we'll have all kinds eye candy and info for the viewing public. until then... enjoy!
oh, and yes... we need to clean our door.
v 1.0 photo album
okay, i've got a semi-working album published. the
photos are from this past saturday and the set includes the one from the previous post.
changes to come include new navigation icons (current ones = yuck) and an album index. currently missing from the photo album section is a link back to prutopia's home page, so if you get lost, just remember prutopia.net.
barefoot in overalls

While mommy napped, liv and daddy had a little photo shoot. Once I get the album section up and running, you'll be able to view more shots. Until then, enjoy this one!
olivia's 2nd easter
It was a big weekend filled with eggs, bunnies, a trip to the zoo, visits with family, and 1 llama. Everything an 18th month old could hope for. The weekend also featured Olivia's first skinned knee... and her second... and a little crying. Yes, quite the weekend, the theme of which was "find nutha easta bunny", no matter how creepy he may be. Olivia will tell you all about the swimming polar bear and the walrus and that she rode the train. The mind-boggling, less-than-scenic, bilk-the-zoo-guests train that showed a few giraffe, 1 elephant and the maintenance buildings. In the end, though, a fine weekend was had by all. As always, Olivia kept us all entertained. More photos to come...
