Monday's Child

 51 Weeks

Just look at that drool. Welcome to our lives now. At least Violet didn't eat the grass she is clutching in her hand. And at least it's finally warm enough outside to go outside and get some vitamin D!

We had a busy, busy weekend which involved leaving Violet with lots of people while we ran around. On Saturday, we dropped her off at the neighbor's house so we could visit one of Matt's coworkers in the hospital. Violet was greatly entertained next door and even got to take a walk with the boys. She was asleep when we returned and we actually had to wake her up from her nap because... it was Parents' Night Out at daycare and Matt and I were off on a date night! So we woke up the babe just to drop her off again. Fortunately she didn't seem too displeased. And we enjoyed a lovely night out courtesy of Matt's sweet grandma (Christmas gift cards, whoo hoo!).

Then Sunday we headed to church and left Violet in the nursery for the first time. Several people asked us how it went and my reply has been, "Well, they didn't page us!" So it can't have gone too badly. I'm glad that first time is over and it went well. Hopefully we can establish a good Sunday morning routine now. Sunday afternoon Matt's parents came up, with Aunt Judie and Aunt Ruth Ann (from Montana!) in tow and we had a lovely visit. Needless to say, I didn't get much crossed off the to-do list this weekend, but we certainly enjoyed ourselves.
