Squirrel is 6 years old!!!

Olivia's (aka Squirrel) 6th birthday was February 4th and wow were we busy! We had her party and then left for Quito the next day to take my parents to fly home. But, I guess I'm better late than never. Plus, since she's not reading too much yet, I can get by with her not checking my blog to see if I posted anything about her!!

It's so hard to believe that she is 6 already. We moved to Shell from Sucua right before she was born. The power went out the night before she was born and was out all night and the same happened this year for her birthday :)! It's so hard to think of your little girl growing up. For some reason it's harder with a girl than a boy.

Olivia you are a such a fun kid and we love how you constantly make us laugh. We are so proud of you and the young little lady you are becoming.

Bear Bear

Olivia got a "My First Teddy" when she was born, his name is "Bear Bear". He, still to this day, is a VERY loved teddy bear. She doesn't have to sleep with it, but she definitely prefers to. The other day she had gotten her feelings hurt at school. When she came home she told me that she would like to take Bear Bear back to school with her and keep him in her backpack just because sometimes she just needs to know he's there! How precious is that?! I don't want her to grow up.
