Olivia spent the day (and is spending the night) at her grandparents’ house.  But, don’t be misled. . .we did anything but relax.  First, we painted the stairwell area of our house.  We have been dreading that for two years.  Two years ago was when we painted the entry way and decided to paint the whole house room by room.  We believe in baby steps. . .LOL.  Well, now the entry way, kitchen, dining room, hallway and living room is complete!  After we finished with that, we worked outside in the yard.  I tell ya, I’m going to be sore tomorrow.  Then, we showered, got dressed up and went out on a date.  Ryan surprised me and made dinner reservations at Kobe’s Steakhouse.  What a productive day followed by a wonderful evening!

Wichita State

For those who haven’t heard, the Wichita State Shockers won the N.I.T. Championship tonight.  Being a graduate of Wichita State, I am pretty proud.  Way to go Shox!

Like Father, Like Daughter

 

Ducky

We were at a store the other day and Olivia spied him.  Her eyes lit up and she fell in love. . .with Ducky.  Being the suckers that we are, we took him home with us.  Call it an early Easter present.  Olivia immediately told us that she loved Ducky and that  he was “one BIG duck!”  He has since had to ride in the car with her, sleep with her, play with her, etc.  So, here is the newest member of our family: Ducky!

Olivia and Izzy = BFF
