11 Months and my Daddy

Today Olivia is 11 months old, I can't believe she is almost 1. She is walking along the couch but not yet on her own. Madalyn walked just after her first birthday, so we will have to see if Olivia does the same. Also on a not so happy note, my dad who is in Saudi had back surgery last Saturday and it took 10 hours when it was supposed to take 3. He was in the ICU and got a staff infection they believe from being in surgery far longer than they thought. He is in recovery doing better, but because the time difference and the distance it is hard on us kids over here. We feel helpless. So please keep my dad and my step mom in your prayers.
