Getting Ready for Halloween

Livia was very good when she got ready for Halloween. She patiently let us put whiskers on her cheeks (twice - Mommy messed up) and left her ears and tail on most of the night. She had a great time!

Birthday?

Livia is obsessed with her birthday. Everyday she asks if it's still her birthday and for birthday cake - we even have to sing "Happy Birthday" to her at night. The funny thing is that she zero interest in opening gifts!

She had several little parties and the first one was at the Discovery Center in Topeka. She got to have a butterfly cake and play at one of her favorite places. It was fun!

The Wedding

We had so much fun at Uncle Tyler and Aunt Courtney's wedding. Everything took place on a beautiful lake but there was one problem - no ducks! Livia doesn't understand when there aren't any ducks for her to feed on a natural body of water. Daddy even tried to lure one to her but when he ran out of food it bit his toe.

Livia had a great time dancing at the reception and seeing everyone at the rehearsal.

Going to Uncle Tyler and Aunt Courtney's Wedding

We opted to fly to Wisconsin for Uncle Tyler and Aunt Courtney's wedding. I'm still convinced we made the right decision to fly but it was a LONG day. The day started off great, check-in online before we left, even paid for our bag to be checked before we left. Well, the sky cab wouldn't take our bag - our flight was now 4 hours delayed. Luckily Livia found the escalator very entertaining and we got to break in her DVD player. She did a great job on the plane and an even better job when the rental car made us wait 45 minutes, even the car should've been waiting for us. In the end we made it, each had $100 vouchers to the airline, we got free gas and upgrade for the rental car and got a room upgrade at the hotel. We had a fun weekend celebrating with family and friends.

A Nice Visit with Emma and G.G.

Cousin Emma came to visit from Virginia this summer for a few days. She and Livia hit it off! We played with G.G.'s doll house, had dinner with UZ and then went to the zoo to hit the butterfly house. Livia had a lot of fun!

Sorry - Mommy is Slacking Off

We got really busy in the month of September. Uncle Tyler and Aunt Courtney got married, Mommy ran the humane society auction and we had a KU football game sprinkled in. One of the last weekends of summer Papa and Gigi came to visit and go to the pool with us. We had a lot of fun! The best part was running around on the putting green after dinner. Livia still asks for the pool and knows whenever we get within a 5 block radius.
