my favorite thing...
Olivia will go find a book, carry it to me yelling her version of the work book, "Baaao" and then she will sit in my lap. Then we will read the book for about 30 seconds and she will move on. About 2 minutes later: repeat.

two days...
Olivia is going to be one year old in two days! Crazy!
She is doing the cutest things lately. She will going into my closet and pick up a shoe, bring it over to me, and pick up my foot and try to put the shoe on my foot. And then when I've got the shoe on..she'll go back for some more shoes.
She is just understanding so much lately! Whenever we see the dandelions that are all seeds, she will start blowing. If you ask her if she can smell something she'll start sucking air in an out of her nose. lol She is so cute.
Joel has a job!!! This week he was w0rking as a facilitator with a veterinary group at the camp...and on Monday he starts with a landscaping company. It's temporary...but it's something.
The vet people all know Olivia because she was born at the same time they were at the camp last year...so everyone ( a lot of people!!) sang Happy Birthday to her yesterday. She was overwhelmed to say the least, but when they were done singing she just was all smiley and waving at everyone. And she got a pretty sweet Cougs sweatshirt!
As for me....I'm just homemaking it up. And working on my tan, of course. I'm probably going to be canning next week...and later in June is strawberry season so Amy and I are going to make lots of jam!!
Now that Joel has a job I'm hoping to be able to start doing jewelry...I have the tools I just need to be able to buy the beads!!!!

yum!
I made bread today..and I'm making more right now because Joel and I ate almost all of it. It's that good. I've decided that instead of buying bread...I will just make all of our bread. And it is definitely a trade up!!

time doesn't just fly....it jets...or something else really fast.
I've really got to get myself together! This is the only way that I'm going to remember all the little things with Olivia, and I can't get myself to update ever!
Okay.
Meeting my birthfather was amazing. They were so welcoming. When we drove up the whole family was sitting on their porch waiting.
He decorated his house with purple streamers and had balloons in the living room. Their dining room table was covered in gifts for us. The whole family was amazing.
Its so crazy to see how we look alike. I had known before that his parents had died when he was in high school..but what I didn't know is that his mom's name was Kathleen! And...my adoptive parents didn't know...and they were the ones who named me! Andy was saying that I look and act a lot like her.
He also was saying that had they not died, there was no way that I would have been adopted. They loved kids and would have been more than willing to help Andy out.
Andy has a huge family, and they all have talked for so long about Andy finally getting to be able to meet me. Isn't that crazy?!!?!
His youngest son, Eric, was so funny! He gave me like 5 hugs while I was there and at dinner he kept telling me, "Kathleen, I have a present for you in my room...but I have to go find it first."
So cute.
I'm meeting Andy's brother this Saturday!!
OLIVIA! She will be one year old in less than two weeks!!
We are going to have a birthday party for her on the 13th. I'm so excited!
She is just growing so fast. She can say door, and ma ma, hat, hot, clock (gock is what is sounds like), down...and probably more I don't understand!
She says please in sign language for just about everything.
Oh, and she's doing it to Joel in the picture, but she will go around to just about everything and "cuddle." She will rest her head and pat it. It is so cute!
