Meeting Olivia

Saturday Papa and Ella headed to Houston in the afternoon. It was Papa's very first extended car ride with Ella by himself! I was nice and loaded all the necessities of a long car ride with a toddler (pretzels, cereal, raisins, water, books, toys, CD of annoying kid's songs that must be played over and over and over again in order to maintain happy toddler status) before I left on Friday so that I could minimize the occurrence of said Papa losing it :) They did very well and Ella was back in Mama's hands safe and sound! While I was waiting on them to arrive I went and spent a while at Aunt Jennifer's so I could love on Olivia before my little monster arrived. What a sweet baby girl she is as well. How can you go wrong with a child that sleeps 23 out of 24 hours a day?! Later in the evening I brought Ella back so we could play with the cousins and have some dinner. They had a great time in the bouncy, which is wonderful since this was the first time Ella actually got in one and enjoyed herself. One more fear conquered! Later after Olivia woke up Ella got to meet her for the first time and was enamoured with "baby liv ya".
