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 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.
This morning Jacob came into our bedroom all excited, usually that would mean he got into something he shouldn’t have. Today it was a little different. This morning he’d setup our Whoville-opoly and wanted to play. To be fair, we played last night after Violet went to bed, and I had left the box out overnight. But to come down and see the game out and ready to play was quite impressive. Unfortunately we didn’t have a chance to play as Violet was waking up and all the little pieces would be to tempting for her to snack on. So we packed it up, hopefully we’ll find time to play one night when Melissa is around.
Today our picture of the day is of a sick Jacob relaxing on the couch. He’s trying to ignore me as I take the picture. It’s hard when your kids are sick, though after all the sleep they both got today I’m hoping they will have a better tomorrow.
I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who came and shared this special day with our family. Our little girl turns 2 on Thursday and today we celebrated. It was a great party and it’s days like today that form the memories I want my kids to have as they grow up.
Tomorrow we celebrate Violet’s second birthday, today we went out to pick up the last few things we needed. Our quest for Veggie and Fruit trays failed, Costco had none, and Sobey’s seemed over priced. So we picked up fresh veggies and fruit and Melissa made her own. So for my Picture today I thought I’d show off her work.
