Violet completed her first 5k in just under 40 minutes on Sunday. What I forget to mention, is that it was on her bike and we took a break half way through at the store. Regardless, she had to cross 2 very busy roads (4 total since we had to head back) and go down…
…nail, that is. Soon. I hope. Last month or so, Violet shut Hayden’s hand in a door at daycare. It went from black, to purple to multi-colored, and finally to brown. We knew it was due to fall off, but were hoping it wouldn’t. It is currently hanging on by part of a cuticle. Since…
On Tuesday, we went to Bob Evens (down on the farm!) for dinner since Mike was training at the Fetzer Center for work. Dinner went really well partly due to the fact that we got both kids chocolate milk with really long bendy straws. The kids both wanted breakfast for dinner, so we got them the…

Feb 15, 2012 (age 1 year, 10 mo) I got a picture of Hayden a few weeks ago after he had climbed into the cat bed. He climbs up and calls for Mike and I. He knows very well that he’s not supposed to climb up there, but he’s there nonetheless. He loves to climb…
