Piano Lesson

Hello everyone! Here are some pictures of Olivia and Gracie playing a couple weekends ago. Olivia loves giving hugs, the only problem - they're full contact, tackle hugs! Check out her giving Gracie a hug:

I'm not sure what the fascination with climbing IN the toy box, but they spent quite a bit of time in there. Here's Gracie smiling for the camera.

Well, not much to tell this entry as far as Olivia goes, except that she got to have a fun "piano lesson" from my friend Harmony, who just got her piano set up. Harmony was nice enough to invite us over for Olivia to play with the piano since she LOVES music so much. She had a blast with it and it was fun to see her so excited about it. Maybe Santa will bring her a keyboard or something . . .

Here are some videos of her musical genius:

Other than that, we got to go to the hurricane's hockey game on Friday night. Our friends Aaron and Pam Hipp were in town and invited us to join them and Aaron's sister, Katie and her husband. We also brought Randy and Sara with us. Olivia and Gracie stayed behind with Randy's mom for the night. The girls were still awake at 10:30 watching Shrek when we got back. They had a wonderful time - thanks SO much Sandra for helping us out! We appreciate it.

It was really nice to see Aaron and Pam again. Here they are:

and of course the game went into overtime . . . and we lost anyway! Ugh!

Aside from that, we've just been really busy. Grant is still putting in a LOT of hours at his clinic and my work has started picking up. I was in Greenville, NC on Thursday (~1.5 hours east), and Kannapolis (just outside of Charlotte, ~2 hours west) on Friday. I have to be back in Kannapolis tomorrow and Tuesday so I'm staying with mom and dad tonight and tomorrow night (thanks guys!). Grant is home with Olivia for the next couple of days.

That's about all for now.
