Seventh month April 22- May 21 2008

This month was the turning point in our lives and this was the begining of a big change. I wish I could have seen this coming. I went back to work but I was missing out on alot of new beginings with Olivia. So I thought the best decision was to quite my job and stay at home with Olivia. We found someone to sublease our apartment in Rochester and moved to Waterford in an apartment that Donny reminded me of everyday that he hated living there. It would give Donny a break because he was working nights at the time and was always tired. He went to work, came home and slept a little, and then I would go to work after being with Olivia in the morning. You can see in these pictures how tired we were. Daycare was out of the question. It cost too much and we didn't want Olivia with people we didn't know all day. But there were some good things going on with Olivia. She is the reason for all of the good memories during this time.

Going to work with mommy on a Saturday.


Didn't get a lot done.


As you can see here I was not working I was holding her. You can tell by my eyes that I was tired. And OMG look at my roots my hair needed to be relaxed or rebraided. And you can see behind me Olivia was all that I thought about when I was at work...her pictures were everywhere.


She turned 7 months the morning I took this.



Olivia's old room...her very first room she had when we took her home from the hospital.


Playing with daddy while he was packing and cleaning up.


Our last picture right before we said our goodbyes to our apartment. It's five steps above where we were moving to. Donny looks like his world was ending. Poor donny!!!

8oz of love.


Donny and Olivia sleeping after a long day of moving...they were both drained. This is when Olivia started screaming all day long.







Visiting with mawmaw


The first time Olivia and Lleyton saw each other for the first time. I took a billion pictures of the kids together. They had so much fun playing together. When the night ended Olivia was going home but the rest of them were staying at mawmaws. I took this picture before the kids went to bed.


I mad them take pictures while they were playing. I am always the aunt posing the cousins and taking group photos. I'm sure I will get on their nerves when they are teenagers.


Visiting at nana's and papa's.
