olivia 3.0

okay, so i'm a little delayed in posting these pictures. sorry. i guess part of me hasn't come to terms with my baby being three. ouch. it doesn't get any easier. she certainly gets cuter, though.

enjoy these pictures from her ice cream birthday party.

trick or treat 2007

another year, another successful halloween. eve got to join in this year. she was apprehensive for about 2 seconds at the first house, but as soon as she took hold of her first piece of candy, she was hooked. oh, and she seemed to like her kitty cat costume (she started meowing right after i put it on her).

olivia and anya worked the neighborhood with ruthless efficiency. well, as ruthlessly efficient as a princess and a fairy can be. they were very excited, but they were fantastic with their lines: "trick or treat", "thank you" and "happy halloween".

fortunately for the adults, the girls all started to run out of steam after about an hour. but, they went home happy and finished up the evening with a viewing of It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

happy halloween! enjoy the pictures.

cubs redux

took olivia to her second cubs game. the seats weren't near as good as the game last year, and the train ride was ridiculous (hour and a half), but we had a great time. we were joined by angela and anya who were kind enough not be fuming over our half hour plus tardiness. anyway, the cubs pummeled the astros 9-1. ted lilly pitched. on being informed of this, olivia commented that there's a lily in her talking words factory dvd. i guarantee pat hughes and ron santo didn't bring that up on air.

we got to our seats at the top of the 4th and stayed to the top of the 8th... a much better performance than last year's 2 innings. olivia even got to sing take me out to the ballgame this time. i think that may have been her favorite part (a true cubs fan).

i think we'll try to catch one more game this year. maybe a playoff game? sorry, optimism and cubdom don't mix.

Liverace

for all you music fans out there, a star is born... a star of unparalleled talent and charisma. all who witness will remember where they were when they first heard the majesty of "eating fruit is good for me".

enjoy. listen. believe.

happy easter!

our first easter at home. it was a tad bit different not traveling, but we were happy not to be stuck in traffic on sunday night. fear not, we were not alone. some of our good friends joined us for easter dinner. all total, we had eight adults and 5 kids. i put a leaf in the dining room table, and we even busted out a separate kids table. now that, my friends, is a holiday dinner. a good time was had by all (unless somebody lied to me).

i've included a couple of pictures of the girls from easter morning, and you can see the rest of the pics here.
