so much...

So, so much has happened.
I hadn't intended to take a summer sabbatical of sorts; but life got hectic- and it just kind of happened.
It's been busy busy busy at our house. 

Since Olivia's diagnosis we have really been focusing on our little family. It has been an adjustment to say the least. Though we are eternally grateful that her condition is not serious and completely manageable, it is still tough to watch your child go through something like this. Thank you for continuing to keep our family in your prayers. We will forever be thankful for all of them.

Olivia started preschool and ballet. My heart has nearly exploded many times.
My best friend threw me a surprise birthday party.
Chance and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary.
And about a thousand other little things.

Writing posts on all those things today, and planning future posts. Lots of exciting things going on and coming up!!

The first swim

No it's not her first time in the pool. But it was the the first time she swam on her own. I can't put into words the joy I felt. I thought my heart would explode with pride. Her little teeth were chattering, but she was so excited I had to pry her out of the pool. And out of those water wings too, for that matter.

Polka dot ruffled bikinis and Sonic drinks, does it get better?
