We have slowly been making new friends with some very nice people. Here Olivia is, after a bit of sledding, with one of her more familiar playmates, Lyra - yes, another Lyra; one of at least 3 just in this area. Popular little heroine! Olivia goes to a cozy playgroup with Lyra every week and we get together at each other's houses when schedules permit. What's more, Olivia will let Lyra's mom, Kristin, look after her - wow! She also likes to stay with Hope & Jonathan, and has just said she will also visit with another new friend, Joy. This sort of scheme is really unprecedented for us, and very welcome.

Some things don't change. Lots of time spent on our little couch reading.

Some things do change. Trains and babies are still loved, but have taken a backseat to Princesses and Princes. Oh my, do we spend alot of time playing with this theme. Olivia is developing a mean curtsey, though!
Olivia is delightful and friendly with everyone and seems to gather admirers wherever she goes.
