Olivia Turns 6



Today marks Olivia's 6th Birthday - last night Brad and I snuggled up with her at bedtime and told her the story of the night before her birth, how we couldn't wait to meet her, how nervous we were and then after I gave her 5 kisses for the last time, I reminded her that beginning today timeouts will last for 6 minutes so she better get her act together - 6 minutes is a LONG time.
