One thing that I have loved doing for Violet in her two short years is to get her personalized birthday shirts. It’s one of those things that makes a birthday just a little more special, if you can share it with the world – kind of like what bride t-shirts do for the bride to [...]

The Birthday Party

Violet’s birthday party is today. She still has no idea what a birthday is, or why she is getting cake, or presents, or any of that stuff. So really, it’s more of a party for her parents. My friend Lisa also mentioned it’s kind of like a housewarming for us, too. I’m anticipating 20-25 people, [...]

Happy Birthday Violet!

Just like her mother. She’s got her dad’s eyes, though. I’ve got a brand new house – not quite moved in yet, but we [...]

Getting older is so much fun!

I received a birthday card from my aunt today. She’ll be 76 in a couple of weeks. She had asked my mom what we needed for the house, and my mom told her we needed a new kitchen faucet. So, she sent me a very nice check with a note enclosed that said “use this [...]
