This past weekend, the Olson family finally went to the Georgia Aquarium! WOW! We had a great time!. David loved the otters and the penguins the best! ( We think Poppy would like the penguins too! Are there penguins in England?)

David kept saying, "Fish! Fish!", and "Oh look!". We thought the stingrays and the beluga whales were awesome too!
We recommend a visit to the aquarium if you are ever in Atlanta!
We finished the day with a late lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and went home for a long nap!

Matt and David went to St. Matthew's church in Tyrone with Kiki & Lauren. Of course, David's best friend, Margie, was there to help David on his very first Easter egg hunt! They had so much fun!. Unfortunately, Mommy was at work. But she got to see all the eggs & candy at home! Doesn't David look smashing in his searsucker outfit with matching hat? What a handsome boy!

The Renaissance Festival is in Atlanta for a couple of months. Our friends, Kiki, Steve, Lauren, Margie, Anna, Jan and hubby, and kids Gabe and Noah, invited us out for a good time. Margie and Anna dressed up as fairies!. David liked the finger painting the best! He got to play on a jungle gym and he even rode a pony! It was very hot, so we put on lots of sunscreen and wore cool looking hats. What fun! David took a 3 hour nap after all the excitement!

American Adventures is an amusement park in Atlanta for kids 10 yrs old & under. We went with David's best friend, Margie, her mom, Kiki, Kiki's sister and her kids. David had a great time even though he didn't feel good. David rode all the rides. His favorite was the giant slide! We don't have any pictures of that though, because Mom went down the slide too! Check out David's red little cheeks in some of the pictures. We found out later that day that he had a sinus infection and 2 ear infections! He still had fun! What a trooper!

MaMa stayed for a week to help David get better. We don't know if we would have survived without her! She took David on a wagon ride, walked to the mailbox with him, rocked him, slept in a chair at the hospital, spoon fed ice to David, read him stories, helped him brush his teeth, and even bought him a new wooden puzzle that he LOVES. Ma Ma got David a new red and white outfit and he wore it as he helped her get ready to go home. He ate noodles on the way to the airport, and waved bye bye to Ma Ma at the airport. He kept yelling, "MA! MA !" as Ma Ma went through security. We sure hated to say bye ! Thanks MaMa!

David was very ill 3 days after surgery. We rushed him back to the ER at the hospital that Jennie works at. He was readmitted for 4 more days. He refused all fluids & food, had diarrhea, a fever & was severly dehydrated. He absulutely loves his best friend Margie and her mom, Kiki. We call them, The Rescue Crew. They brought all sorts of goodies for David. Margie was so generous and thoughtful, that she went through all of her crayons and toys and made a bag for David, knowing that she may not get those items back. Thank you Margie! The biggest hit was a snow cone machine! Kiki made snowcones and David finally ate!!! Yippee!!! It was downhill from there! Thanks to The Rescue Crew! We appreciate all the balloons, toys, snacks, encouragement, and yummy snow cones! You guys are awesome friends!!!!! We love you!

Ma Ma (Grammie) came to visit. Thank goodness. She helped us check David out of the hospital the day after surgery. 2 days after surgery, we thought David was on the road to recovery. He walked with Ma Ma to the mailbox, and even went for a short wagon ride................But, the poor little guy just couldn't eat or drink, and kept running a fever. See more pictures of David going back into the hospital.

Here are a couple of pictures of David prior to his tonsillectomy. He is practicing his audiology skills, by working with an otoscope. It is the device used to check your ears. He would much rather do the checking than be the patient!

Just 2 cell phone pics here. One is David at a consignment sale. We LOVE consignment sales! The other is David at Toys R Us. He likes the big cars. Of course, we would have to get a different color (ha).
