Today after work the family headed out to Old Navy to check out the Jean sale. I tried on a few pairs and was shocked to find that my waist was down to a 36. It seems inconceivable that when I met Melissa I was wearing a 42. I wonder if I could get down to a 32. I think the vision of losing another couple of inches that inspired me to head out for a run tonight. Check out my run at RunKeeper
Today when I was giving Violet a snack I thought her snack cup’s lid look like a door from a Science Fiction movie or TV Show. What do you think?
Today was Jacobs skating and with Melissa working evenings I was on my own, but instead Violet hung out at Nana and Papa’s while Jacob and I headed to skating. When we went to pick up Violet Jacob really wanted to have a swim.
Today Violet seemed almost like her old self, she slept well and was out and about playing. She really likes riding on Jacob’s Big Wheel. She even keeps her feet on the bar while I push her. It seemed only fair to give her a turn on it after she’d been chasing Jacob they other day.

Today while Violet napped I decided to head out for a ride. So I loaded Jacob in the trailer and hopped on my bike. I wasn’t sure where I was going, though Jacob wanted to go to the High Park and the Castle Playground. I wanted to go further. In the end I compromised and took the long way to high park. I let Jacob play for a while before getting back on the bike and heading home.
Another day and more time at the hospital. Violet is home and on the mend but we were sure worried – she needed an IV which was a hard thing to handle but she was a little trooper.
Today Melissa and I rushed Violet to the Just For Kids clinic at St. Joes. We rushed because we wanted to get there before they closed. The web said that was 8 but the secretary said we should be there before 7 next time. We were seen because the doctors were standing there when we walked in and said they’d be back shortly(they’d been called to the Er). I was confused why they would post the Hours as till 8 but not want anyone to come during the last hour. Wouldn’t that mean that they really closed at 7? The only thing I could find that supported what the secretary said was the sign in the picture. The waiting room was nearly empty so it just didn’t make sence. I understand wanting to leave early but shouldn’t the kids be more important.
Update on Violet, she’s doing ok except for ulcers in her moth that cause her a lot of pain. We’ve got medication and hope that it will clear up in the next few days.
Today Violet got her hands on Jacobs DS and brought it over to me. She promptly sat on my lap and expiramented with the different buttons. I couldn’t help but snap the picture.
Today as we were heading out to visit with Lisa and her kids Jacob needed a time out. So we sat him down to let him calm down. Violet was worried about her big brother so she sat down with him to see what was up.
Today was a lazy vaction day, which was nice. We puttered about in the morning, with errins and chores. Then after a nap for Violet and a movie for Jacob we went out to the splash pad to play. I though for sure that my picture of the way would come from there but the kids had other ideas. When we got home Jacob wanted to take is big wheel for a spin, but so did Violet. So as Jacob rode off she gave chase.
