Halloween Recap

DSC_0067 (6)2

We got ready for Halloween last Wednesday by carving pumpkins at Breckenridge Brewery. The incentive? First beer free, and $2 pints after that.

And THIS is why we don’t have a family bed

Last night, about an hour after Violet went to bed, she woke up crying and yelling for mommy. Generally, if this happens we let her calm herself back to sleep. However, I was gone from 7:30-6:30 yesterday so I didn’t get to spend much time with her, so I went in to rock her. After [...]

Toddler Talk Tuesday

Violet sure picked up a lot of words and phrases on our trip to Minnesota last week! Of course, at a week shy of 2 years old, it’s pretty typical. Her latest, however, is one that melts my heart. Whenever she leaves in the morning with Scott to go to his mom’s house, she always [...]
