The Posing Boys

Caleb and his cousin Daniel

Olivia

Invented by Shakespeare for his play "Twelfth Night." Olivia was either meant to be a female form of Oliver or derived from the vocabulary word 'olive' which is a symbol of peace. Olivia was the fifth most popular name for girls in the US in 2005, and the most popular name for girls in the UK in 2006.

In English the word Olivia means 'Elf Army'. I read it on the same web site as the above information...no joke.

Congratulations to Tia and Ryan on the birth of their first child, baby Olivia! Can't wait to see the newest addition.

From South to North

The Prince was able to spend a few days with his cousins, Joe, Ellen and Michael who came up from North Carolina for a visit. The weather was warm and P. Caleb had tons of fun playing at the park and the pool with Michael. The visit was far too short. The Prince asked the Queen later, "Mommy, could we go down to visit Michael where he lives?" What a great idea the Queen thought, but when? Be on the lookout, a post may come from the south before too long.

A day with Rachael

P. Caleb went to visit his cousin Rachael today. They had a great time playing together and giving tons of hugs. Caleb wants to add, "Thank you Carolyn for having us. I especially loved the pizza. We will have to do it again real soon!"
