Today while cooking dinner, Violet entertained her self with some of the toys we have on our fridge. It’s amazing how into the toys she gets, but the best part is she’ll play with that while I get dinner ready.

Today Violet had her 2 year appointment that included a surprise shot. When we got home from the appointment we spent some time in her room playing with her kitchen. It’s quite amazing to see how engaged she gets with all the different activities in her kitchen.

This morning while we were getting ready to face the day Jacob was playing in his room. When we went to get him dressed we found that he’d spelled a word. 

Today Melissa Recorded her first VLog, I was here for technical support. I setup the high-tech camera mount for her iPhone, and let her know when her time was up. I’m not sure when it will be posted but stay tuned to her blog shrinkingmama.com to watch it when it is. Watching her record made me wonder if I should do some video content for Geek with Kids, but thankfully that quickly past. I wont say I’ll never do a VLog but it wont be anytime soon.

Near our house they are building a skate park, one thing about the process I’ve been surprised by is that they have worked on and off all winter. The other day I was amused by how the equipment they have on the site was parked. It’s like the bigger machine is protecting the little one. I know it’s silly but I thought hey why not make it my picture of the day.

Today the family headed to Ikea for lunch and look for something’s for our house. So while Jacob played in their play land, Violet, Melissa and I wondered the showroom floor. We were looking for a new bookcase for our living room, of course there are always so many things that caught our eye. From a new dinning room table, to new chair for the our new computer desk. You can see me and Violet testing out a pair of chairs in today’s picture. We held off any big purchases today, but a few thing made it to our wish list.

Todays picture is of our anti-social kitty. Who’s gone from taking swipes at me when I walked past to spending the evenings curled up on my lap.

Today Violet turned 2. So we had a nice dinner and opened some presents. Our picture is of Violet looking over her new Trike.

My sweet little girl, my how you have grown in the last two years. I can still remember the day you were born and just how tiny your little hands and feet were. You had this great big eyes that blinked open to meet the world around you. It has been amazing to be able to watch as you get older and learn to express yourself and there is so much I want to tell you but I can never find the words.
