Olivia fells
Ok, so it has been a long week. I can’t even tell you how much is going on in Anthem of Hope world. Tomorrow is our casting call for a video ad compaign we are doing. We have like 30 actors coming in to audition. Should be good.
Also, I got a call from the video editor and it looks like the video from Misty’s service will be done this coming week. I’ll need a bit of time to get it onto a DVD and have them printed, but it is coming very soon.
Speaking of Misty….I did talk about her today with Olivia. We talk about her often, usually Olivia says something. Today she saw her picture on the wall and said, “Mommy’s in heaven?” to which I of course reply, “yes honey, she is.” This was followed by her blowing of a kiss to the sky “I blow mommy a kiss”.
She is speaking pretty well, but doesn’t quite have the grammer thing down yet. Today was comical:
I often let her climb out of her carseat when we are parked at home. She comes and sits on my lap so that she can draw on the windows. The condensation makes for a good marker board. Well, today she noticed that the windows were ready for her artwork and she said: “it do got sation on it” meaning “it does have condensation on it”. This is important because sometimes we can’t partake of this ritual due to the lack of said “sation” on the windows.
Another funny thing is that she can’t quite get the “sp” sound out right. If usually comes out as an “f”. Now, I recently bought a large white board for my living room (i know i know…but we have Anthem of Hope meetings many nights after my girl goes to bed and I need a white board!) and we often draw on it. Well tonight I wrote “L-I-V-I” on the board. She walks over and says “L I V I – that fells my name”. Despite being happy that she finally recognized the letters without coaching, I was sent into an roar because of how cute she was talking about “felling” her name. I am so in love with this kid….I adore her so.
Anyway, I need to get to bed. Tomorrow should be fun.

Hi Darren. I was just thinking and praying for you and Olivia earlier today and wondering when you’d be sharing another cute story about her… and then I checked your blog tonight and there it is. I’m so glad to hear how great Anthem of Hope is going and I can’t wait to see how powerfully the Lord will use it in hurting peoples’ lives.
Stacia,
I’m so sorry I haven’t shared my little girl more often. I am just usually so beat when I stop work for the day that i can’t keep my eyes open to blog. We are, however, making lots of progress :)
Praying for your auditions today! I am glad you are blogging the precious things Olivia says and does. We are so often busy, that we don’t write things down that later in life can bring us smiles and great joy when we need to remember! Ahh, the written Word!
Thank you for the new Olivia story! I can’t wait to meet her this summer! :) It was really so, so good to see you while you were in town this week. Thank you for waiting to see Patrick too, he really appreciated it!
i, too, look forward to meeting your daughter this summer and it was SOOO good to see you.
Hi Darren,
I love the stories about Olivia. I got to see her in church today. Maybe we could do a Baja Fresh day one day soon. Haven’t seen you in a while, miss you and pray for you and Olivia each day.
Love Lavenia
No matter how my day may be going, whenever I read stories of Miss Olivia it always puts a smile on my face. What a little cutie :):)
When it comes to Olivia you will only keep falling more and more in love! My little girl will be 4 in a few weeks and I keep thinking that the “love” and the almost “obsession” of her will wear off, but it just gets more and more. it just keeps getting better and she is very lucky to have a dad who realizes how awesome she is!!
