Olive had a field trip to the nature center today. It was her first time riding a school bus, something she's been anticipating for a couple years, and she was so so excited. She told us all about it afterwards, and had a great time. She even made this little bird feeder.

Olive is getting so good at reading. It's really fun to watch her developing.

The mommy of one of Olive's friends and one of George's friends passed away last week. We have been heartbroken for the family, and Olive sweetly remembers them in her prayers everyday. In her bedtime prayer tonight she said, "Please help Isla think of all the happy times with her mommy. My tender little girl.

Olive and Lucy got to go to their friend, Emma's birthday party this evening. They got to wear their jammies and bring their favorite dolls. Naturally, they were so so excited. A tiny sister wanted in on this, too.
