Olivia had another photo shoot today in her *Wish*Room*…it’s going to be in the August issue of “Home Trends” magazine. In that issue also will be the homes of news anchor Andrea Cambern and OSU Coach Tressel. I laughed when they told me the article was titled “Celebrity Homes.” I guess we have a celebrity basement! They wanted Olivia in a ballet type outfit…she of course selected a loud blue sequined number. It fit her personality…I told Mike it would have been “false advertising” for her to pose in a pile of dreamy fluffy pink tulle. Designer Linda and I laughed when she was asked to show some attitude… she switched poses in rapid succession: head cocked with hands on hips…peace signs…playing an air guitar…and the rock~n~roll hands in the air. Hilarious…I should have been filming that! While struggling to pose in the slide on her belly…attempting to keep her skirt down and not slide out onto the floor…she said, “I bet Andrea Cambern doesn’t have to do this!” After many photos and flashing lights she was finally set free to play outside…she could hear the neighborhood gang and was dying to join them. Within minutes of changing…she grabbed her pink baseball glove and was in the outfield.
Olivia made a paper chain with Kasey last night to count the days down until we see Christian…eleven days to go. We are all looking forward to seeing him.
We have a few events between now and then that will help the time go faster:
· Of course **Fireworks**on** the** Fourth***
· Monday is Olivia’s two month clinic appointment since her chemo ended. It’s funny…for nearly three years we’ve been counting down to the end of chemo…and now we are counting the months that we travel away from cancer.
· Tuesday is Olivia’s 9th birthday! Hooray for 9!!! It just so happens to fall on the day that “A Kid Again” hosts families at KingsIsland! Thanks to them…the party planning was easy!
I will update Monday after Olivia’s clinic appointment…and for the…I’m sure…thousandth time…we appreciate your continued prayers.
