Lyds Lately...7 months.

Here are a few shots of Lydia lately. She is growing and learning so much every day. She loves crawling around and exploring both inside and outside. Here Lyddi and Daddy are crawling around.

She prefers chewing her shoes to wearing them.

Lyddi got a package in the mail from Auntie Sheesh- so exciting!!

Lyddi likes to look at her "family wall." Lately, she has been drawn to her cousin Daniel.

Fall Family Photos!

We received the best gift at a baby shower...a free photo shoot! What a great way to get Lyddi's 6 month pictures taken. Our photographer was awesome. She came to our house one morning and got a lot of great shots of our family.

We LOVE kissing those cheeks!

Sweet girl.

Super Lyddi!

What a smile!

She rarely makes that face so it's funny that the photographer caught it.

"My foot is so cool!"

I laughed out loud when I saw this one...Talk about smoosh-face!

Dancing away...

Six months already...hard to believe. We praise and thank God every day for blessing us with you! Lydia, it is a true delight and joy to watch you learn and grow each day. We love you dearly and love watching and helping you discover the world around you!

Wow- Look at you grow...and go!

Lydia is a very curious little lady. She loves to explore and gaze at the world around her. It is so much fun to see the world again through her eyes. Everything is new and she is eager to see, touch and taste it all. Lydia has been making some big achievements the last few days. She's been scooting and lunging around for weeks now. This week she figured out how to crawl...and there's no stopping her now!

Keurs and the Falls

Dave, Jayne, Blake and Bryson came out for a visit. We only had one full day with them so we made the most of it. We got some family shots before heading out to breakfast.

Per Zach's request, we dressed in Michigan attire to support the team and celebrate the first game of the season. (This one's for you Uncle Casey!)

After a delicious breakfast we made it to Niagara Falls. Here Dave is posing- classic.

The Keur family in front of the falls.

Zach and I tried to figure out how many times we've visited the falls since moving out here. We counted close to 12 times. Lydia's visited 3 times in her 6 months of life! It is still incredible to see every time.

Jayne and Blake checking out the view.

We stopped to rest in a park, and enjoy some well needed shade. Lydia really liked checking out the trees.

Blake and Lyds playing Sunday morning.

Blake really liked holding his cousin. :-)

Thanks for coming to visit guys! It was a fun time and so great to spend time with you. Come again anytime!

Olson Visit!

Dad, Trace, Cal and Han came for a visit. It was Hannah's birthday the day before so we made sure to celebrate!

Hannah opening her gift. It took a while for her to un-wrap seeing how it had about 12 layers of wrapping paper. :-)

Lydia woke up in time for some of the fun.

We have homemade pizza every Friday at our house, so Hannah helped us prepare the food.

Time to feed Lydia. Uncle Can and Auntie Hannah helped.

Bath time...what a sweetie.

Lydia's zombie pose. :-)

Just hang'n out with Mimilicious and Grandpa.

Gett'n some Grandpa kisses.

Hi Uncle Cal!

One last sweet picture together.

Thanks for coming out guys- We love you!

Cheers to Three Years!

Wow- three years of marriage already. It's crazy how fast it goes! Zach and I celebrated our three year anniversary on August 15. Words can't describe the thankfulness in my heart to God for blessing me with such a wonderful, God-fearing, man of integrity. Grace...God's beautiful grace.

We celebrated in true "Olson style" by getting a Dairy Queen ice-cream cake...so good!

Marriage...what a gift. Looking forward to many more years together!
