By Reader Request.....

I've gotten a reader request! It was for a birthday picture of Olivia. Well, I'm not one to disappoint, but there is a small story to endure first. There weren't any pictures taken of Olivia on her birthday because she is actually ill. I am too. I've got some kind of make you shiver, sleepy, minor sore throat, make you feel like crap bug (better known as the flu more than likely). Olivia however, has something a bit worse. She has RSV. We found that out today at a doctor's appointment. She spent nearly the entire trip to daycare today coughing, and when I got there, nearly everyone was coughing, so I nearly didn't schedule an appointment. I did end up scheduling it and sure enough, not good things. This made the party suddenly come into jeopardy, but I learned about RSV that the particular string going around Mitchell is not harmful to adults, only to young children. So, we have medication, and things to give Olivia to help her get better.

So, the reader request was for a birthday picture of Olivia. Well, here is one from a birthday party we attended in January and was Olivia's first time tried swimming....and one of her enjoying her supper.
