Today we met our friends Mandy and Asher at the Lawrenceville courtyard. It was a hot day but we found shade and it was really a great day. The kids enjoyed crafts, face painting, a picnic and music. I enjoyed getting out of the house and hanging out with a friend.
Last night we went to visit the hospital I will be delivering Harper. My doctor moved offices in June and he now delivers across town at Emory Johns Creek. I have loved my OB and he has delivered my other two girls via c-section so I didn't have to think twice about following him. His office and the hospital are 21 miles away from our house...twice the distance as the old office and twice as long to get there. The hospital is a very nice small community hospital. Chad calls it "foo foo" because it has valet parking and it nice inside. The rooms defiantly look nicer then the last hospital. The only down fall, that I am still checking into, is the tour guide wasn't sure if they let children in under the age of 12 unless they are a sibling. I have heard a lot of hospitals have gone to this but it still would make me sad to think my nephews couldn't come up. 
Olivia has decided she is going to potty train herself. Mommy didn't think she was ready for this stage but it has now come and she is doing a great job! It started Wednesday morning when she got herself dressed, stripped off her diaper and was running around with just a shirt on. She stopped in the den and looked at me and said, "I pee pee". I looked down on the floor only to see a dime size wet spot so I told her to go to the potty. She ran in there and released the rest. And it's all gone uphill from there. She doesn't want to wear diapers anymore...only panties or a pull up. We went to Walmart to allow her to pick out some panties...she choose mickey mouse (really minnie but she calls it all mickey) and Dora. She is very proud to wear them. At the house she will just run to the potty or tell me she needs to pee pee. I ask her all day if she needs to go but I don't think I really need to be....she knows when she needs to go. She has stayed dry for two nights and through two naps. In fact, she has gotten up twice after she has been laid down and told us she needs to go. Chad and I thought this might be her new excuse for not being in bed but she went both times. We now take the training potty in the car and has stayed dry during two or our three outing. She is so proud of herself smiling ear to ear when she potties and will say to me, "You proud of me, mama". So cute!!! 
We spent July 4th at the lake with family. Swimming, playing, celebration independence day and my sister's birthday. The kids all played well together and really enjoyed time in the pool. I probably added too many pictures of them in their red, white and blue outfits but they were all so cute I didn't want to leave any out.
Olivia loves movies at home and in the car, so tonight we decided to take her to her first movie in a theater. Maw Maw, Paw Paw, Chad, Grace and myself all went to see a great movie...Toy Story 3. Olivia did awesome! She spent about twenty minutes in her own chair and then sat in my lap the rest of the time. She only spoke out a few times and fell asleep during the second half.
