Bedding down post-Xmas time

*



The post-christmas slow-down is in full effect.


We have done very little since then.


Besides spending a lot of time with Violet.


Two baths in a row with Dad and she's still alive.


Christmas was great. We will get pictures up, soon. Thank you to all of the grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends and such who made her second christmas day delightful.

through the forest to grandmother's house...

*




We were given a traveling pack for Christmas by Wendy's parents. 

Now we can explore the forests our new home offers, making for happy parents and daughter.

...and away we go.

one giant leap

to the coast

We took a ride out to the coast.



It's only an hour and twenty minutes from us...




and so beautiful. This whole coast is amazing.


Feels like coming back home.

With a little encouragement...


she's off.



Violet is on a mission. It's almost hard to imagine her not walking now.




It's cold, but what a beautiful day.


We found this near the beach. We're back to the land of misfits and freaks. Reminds me of a car we used to drive around in named "Mr. Yuk". We'll call this "Mrs. Yuk".


returning home...

these silent nights

We are still here.


There has just been a lot going on as you might imagine.


All well and accounted for.


Like I was saying, "We've been horribly busy around here".




Merry X-mas!
