Valentines

Violet and I made her first set of valentines cards for her friends at daycare last night! They've got glittery tattoo finger rings and lollipops in them :) We wrote, "You're a great friend!" And "Thank you for being my friend!" in them❤

My favorite moments:

* When Violet or Odie takes a nap with me without being forced (because goodness knows I try... Frequently❤)
* Hearing my 2 babies playing with each other... usually playing tug of war with Odie's toys or 'keep away' (from Violet) which I think is Odie's favorite because he loves being chased❤
* That both V and Odie let me cradle them❤
* Coming home from work after a long, but usually good day and seeing both Violet and Odie ecstatic beyond belief to see me❤

ANd the best one? Getting to share all of this, everyday, with my best friend in life... Matt❤

A frosty run

Saturday morning, Odie, Violet and I went for a run in the park. There was frost everywhere! Violet was so toasty that the clear see through part if her stroller was all fogged up :)

Teething

When Violet is cutting a tooth, she really loves the food in packets because they're cold and super smooth ❤

Thanks Dana!

I love my coworkers :) They somehow know JUST what I like ❤

This tub was made with LOVE!

Violet LOVES bath time sooooo much! We fill her tub up almost to the top because she loves laying back and feeling the water all around her face and ears :) Then she proceeds to kick and splash around on her back and giggles hysterically ❤ Such a happy girl :) We are so blessed ❤

Ps- one of the pictures is blurry, but it was an awesome moment between Violet and Odie because she was cuddling him on the floor just like I do :) Monkey see, monkey do :)

A Blur

Last week was an absolute blur. A combination of fun family visits compiled with Violet deciding to wake up 3x each night is what did it!

I've already shared our fun Sunday through Wednesday adventures with my parents, so onto Thursday! My grandpa came into town Thursday night and stayed with us till early Saturday morning! It was such a treat :) I have Fridays off so grandpa, Violet, and I went to breakfast and hung out all day :) This included doing some laundry, taking a walk, both grandpa and V having an afternoon nap (while I gave Odie a bath), and dinner at George's Greek cafe with Matt :)

Violet has taken pure joy and excitement out of all our family visitors! It was sad to see grandpa leave Saturday morning :( Hopefully we'll see him soon...

After the funeral on Saturday we visited with Matt's folks and our niece and nephew (whose parents also went to a funeral that day- different one). It's amazing to see how much kiddos change and grow up ❤
