A letter to Olivia Grace


Dear Olivia,

Your Daddy, sister and I are sooo looking forward to this December when we get to finally meet you and bring you home. Daddy & I are getting excited about going through the "baby stage" all over again, and this time we'll have your big sister helping us with everything along the way! Your sister Alyssa Belle is probably the most excited about your arrival. She says she can't wait to hold you, play with you and share all of her toys with you, and she says the two of you will be "Best Friends Forever!!"

Your Mamaw & Poppy, Grandpa Gene, Grandma Berk, Aunt Vicki & Uncle Jordan, Aunts Kayli & Nicole & Uncles Geno & Brandon & your great grandparents are also very excited to meet you and I'm sure they have lots of plans to spoil you like crazy! You have two cousins TJ & Avery who are stoked for another playmate!! Along with lots of furry family members who can't wait to give you "doggy kisses" :)

There's many other friends and family members who are anxiously waiting your arrival. Only 4 months or so before we get to shower you with love! We already love you more than ever!! You just keep growing and make sure to stay in Mommy's tummy until you are ready to come out and play okay!! We love you sweetheart!!

Love, Mom & Dad

The Q's @ Crater Lake


Yesterday for my birthday, Travis took the girls and I to Crater Lake. We spent the day driving around, stopping at view points to take pictures and walking (running) the trails chasing after Alyssa Belle. We had a great time and we managed to got some great pictures:

And that was our trip. We had such a wonderful time at Crater lake and look forward to taking the girls again when they are older so we can all hike the trails together. I hope that each of you get a chance to visit this beautiful destination in Oregon at least once in your lifetime. It is truly breathtaking. I feel very blessed to have been able to share this with my family on my birthday and I couldn't have asked for more. Until next time... ~Anna
