Another beautiful day, and today we enjoy with daddy!!!

We love the weekends chez O'Neil. It's when we spend the most quality time together...and now with this nice weather we get to do so many things outside which is great!!! Olivia is so memorized by the wind and the birds, cats, dogs people...watching her dada wash the vehicles, rake the lawn....SO MUCH ACTION...no time for naps!!! We do alot of walking now days and Olivia loves cruising along in her stroller. WE have also set up a little area for her to play on our deck while we are out there especially since the lawn is still pretty wet (and also since she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth, she's easier to keep an eye on there)!!!

Here is Olivia today playing outside:




The NEW Coppertone baby!!!

Olivia and I slapped on the sunscreen (several times) and played out side most of the day on Friday!!! We love this weather!!!

A Very special Birthday...

First, a note to thank EVERYONE for the well wishes, phone calls, cards and presents!!! I feel so incredibly spoiled!!!

A special thank you to my husband who gets more excited about my birthday than I do and planned a lovely little celebration for me...even though it wasn't one of those "milestone birthdays"...lol...

Now for the next 8 or so years i can just refer to myself as 30-something...no need to get too specific!

Another thank you to my parents for bringing me into this crazy world and who always make me feel special on my birthday especially and even when they are so far away.

This year although not one of those milestone birthdays was an incredibly important and special year for me for two reasons:

1) It was my first birthday as a mother and watching my baby be excited to help me open presents and cards and blow out candles was SO much fun...

and

2) This years birthday also marked the anniversary of 10 years since my stem cell transplant (which was performed in hopes of curing my Hodgkin's lymphoma). I'm officially 10 years in remission which is a celebration in itself.

I hope every birthday is as good as the last few but this one especially!!!
