Longview Adventures

Reunited. And it feels so good!

It's been so great being home. We are loving every minute of it. We have just been hanging around vegging. I couldn't ask for anythin' better. 

Luke and Katy are total bffs. They have been inseparable. I love it.

We were kind of worried that Luke would be timid towards the fam but he has just loved all the attention! He lights up every time he sees his nanny. They have so much fun together. He has been loving all the treats that grandpa gives him too..of course. He is a lug. 

Luke is such a personality. I feel like he is already so charismatic. No matter who he looks at he just gives them such a look of adoration.

He's got those Olson happy eyes. 

Kay bought a johnny jump up a while back. He has never been in one. But oh my! He gets such a kick out of it. He and Grant are such a riot together while Luke is in it.

I'm so excited for Lucas' very first Christmas! We are having so much fun. And what a lucky kid. He gets 2 Christmases. Dang Boy. 

Luke is definitely surrounded by love here in Longview. 

Home Sweet Home

We are finally going home!

I am so thrilled. I can't wait for my parents and in laws to see our sweet boy again! Kay gets to see Luke everyday just about thanks to FaceTime. But my mom hasn't seen him for a while now. 

I think one of my favorite things about vacationing is packing. 

Weird. I know.

I think it's just so fun to get organized with all you need and it makes the anticipation that much better.

We are driving four hours to Boise on Saturday and then flying home to Portland. I cannot wait. 

This will be Luke's second flight. His first was when he was about two months old and didn't really seem to care.Crossing fingers that he hasn't changed in that aspect. 

I just can't wait for Luke to celebrate his first Christmas with mine and Grant's families. It's such a shame living so far from them. But these next two weeks are going to be pure bliss.

PS. While we were at Broulim's we saw Santa!

Welcome Welcome!

Hey There!

My name is Brianne Olson, My husband Grant and I have been married for a little over a year and a half. Six months ago the second best thing happened.

We had a baby! We named him Lucas Randy. Randy is my dads name and I couldn't think of anyone

better to name our sweet boy after.

The past six month have been a roller coaster of emotions.

When Luke was first born I was so overwhelmed by this huge responsibility.

I was terrified! But after all of my crazy hormones calmed down, I was a new person!

The greatest thing was watching him and all of the faces he would make every second. 

You could just feel that he was a special person. He had an aura about him that just radiated how sweet he was.

He still radiates.

We all have so much fun together. Even if it is just sitting on the ground and watching him roll.

Who would have thought that watching a baby make spit bubbles and hold a bottle would be so fun??

Luke has just recently gotten his first two teeth! We are so proud of those tiny little pearly whites!

He is now rolling all over the place! And screams out of excitement and loves food!

BEWARE! If you are eating near him he will grab it from you. If he doesn't snatch it out of your hands, he'll just lean right on over and take a bite.

Luke is our pal. Grant and I couldn't be happier!
