Olivia's House

We go visit Olivia on every holiday...and we talk about her and how we will see her again....Mother's Day was a hard day to go there...I missed her so much....I bought this awesome pinwheel - bright pink for her...and we put it into the ground and seriously less than 5 minutes after we carefully secured it...it flew away into the wind....I looked at Doug and he ran and got it and we decided that just before we would leave we would stick it in the ground and run away so I could just think it was still there (even if the wind blows it away:) at least I won't know....

As we were running to the car Audrey looked at me and said her stomach hurt...about 5 seconds later she was throwing up and crying...she kept saying "I threw up at Olivia's house...I'm so sorry" the poor thing was so upset she threw up at "Olivia's house"....it was the cutest thing ever...it made me realize how much she really loves and cares for her sister...

So, so sweet. What a lucky girl Olivia is to have a family that loves her sooo much. I wonder if she's aware of that love now... I like to think so. Happy Mother's Day Heather

Ethan still sometimes comes to me with tears in his eyes missing his sister. I just hold him and cry with him.
We would love to hear about some of the other things happening in your life.

I think you need a break from it all just in time for summer. Come back to Chicago and we will go to Oprah or the park with the fountain or something else from our lives in the city. We miss you guys. Evan's adorable little polite phrases and Audrey's cheesy grin when she knows you are looking at her.
