Fire behind our house!

On Friday the family went out grocery shopping. On our way back we noticed smoke coming from the area near our house. We joked that our house was on fire but as we got closer it really did look like it was coming from our neighborhood. It was kinda scary, but as we pulled onto our street we found out that the fire was in the vacant lot behind our house. Whew! We don't know how the fire started but it was put out before any houses were damaged.

Olivia, the first 6 months

I can't believe Olivia is 6 months old today. Time flies, too fast. She is cutting her first two teeth this week, so she has been extra fussy and clingy but she is also such a happy and smiley baby (unless you are holding a camera, she will NOT smile for a camera). Before she was born I purchased monthly "belly stickers" to take on each of her monthly birthdays so that we could see how she changed over the first year. Here are her first 6 month pictures. (and of course I uploaded them backwards so you will have to watch her shrink instead of grow, sorry)
