BUBBLES

10 MONTH PHOTO

This month was the first time we had difficulty trying to get a good shot. Violet just wanted to roll everywhere. I can see as she becomes more mobile it will get harder. I wished her new baby would have been turned around so you could see it better but this turned out pretty cute.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Since Violet loves to bounce we got her a Rody. He's inflatable and can be inflated at different levels depending on the size of the child. We also have a base for it that turns it into a rocking horse.

She insisted on riding with her new stuffed baby.

YOU'LL BE MISSED

1928-2008
The fondest memory Chris and I have together of Grandpa is when Violet was born. We shared this today and I thought I'd share it here too. The day Violet was born Grandpa came to the hospital to visit. He had a pretty bad cough and as he entered the Maternity ward he began coughing and was immediately confronted by a nurse. The nurse told him he could not go back to see the baby unless he put on a face mask. Grandpa looked at the nurse and told her 'I'll put on the face mask, heck I'll put on a diaper too if that means I get to go see my great grandbaby'. Of course this got quite a laugh out of the nurses. Chris not only got his talent but his sense of humor as well. What I like about this story is that it involves Violet and we can share that with her as she grows up. It is a shame he won't be around as she gets older. A great man will be missed by all .

XMAS IN THE PARK

We drove through Christmas in the Park at Longview Lake this evening. Violet screamed the whole time. It was very enjoyable. I did manage to get these shots on the SLR by slowing down the shutter speed and of course no flash.
