My brother Charlie and his family came to visit us last month - it has been years since we have seen each other so this was a very fun visit. It was great to catch up and for Violet to finally meet her cousin Teagan. They are currently stationed in Japan but we are hoping they may be moving back to the states soon. Thanks again for the great visit!
Welcome to our Family Blog
We hope this will be a good way to keep in contact with all of our Friends and Family that are spread out all over the world.

Update on Violet -
This sassy but sweet little girl is fast approaching the terrible two's. She is like a sponge when it comes to learning and often will sing her own version of the ABC's and Twinkle Little Star. She is into playing with her stuff animals, baby dolls and she still loves her books. Her two most favorite buddies right now are Daddy and Frank. Her other two favorites are Lucy and Baka Bake (*aka Gabe) - we can't say Lucy's name unless we are on our way to see her. Another big milestone in the past month or so ... she is now sleeping in her big girl bed - she still brings about 5 stuff animals with her, but whatever works! Enjoy the pics as mentioned in the captions she is growing - I think John might get his vollyball player after all.

Dancing with Grandpa
My parents came for a visit a few weeks back. They wanted to celebrate their anniversary by spending time with V and me. =) They brought Violet gifts of musical instruments - as you can see she is mastering them with a little help from Grandpa. She is also showing off her other favorite activity "Dancing" she dances to everything - she is full of personality.
(*I most enjoyed Grandpa's dancing) =)

Violet Showing Off
Violet was in a good mood tonight and decided to repeat some of the words she knows. Most of the time when I try to get her to speak she just looks at me and laughs or runs away, so catching it on video was like photographing Bigfoot.

I LOVE BOOKS
I often find Miss V in her bedroom sitting in her comfy chair reading her books. She has a tradition of pulling all of her books out of the basket and spreading them all over the floor near her feet. It is one of my favorite things to watch her do. She will read out load in her gibber gabber and will point to all the pictures on the pages. Here are a couple pics.

Christmas Pics
Better late then never - here are an assortment of pics from Christmas. Enjoy!
Christmas Weekend in Madison with
Grandma & Grandpa Wallsch.
"Grandma you crack me up!"
"Is it breakfast time?"
Grandpa Wallsch showing Violet how to ride her new pony.
Miss Lucy & Miss Violet hanging out in their
chairs at Grandma Bartels
Violet carefully touching each ornament on the tree.
Grandma Bartels gave Violet her own chair - she has it in her room and we often find her reading her books...well trying to read the books.
(*Notice the guitar,Violet is showing a little of her rocker side.)

Violets First Birthday Party
I know this is a over due post - but better late then never.
Enjoy the pics I'll write more when I get a little more time.
(*Smaller piece of cake - but just as much fun)
(*I'm actually hiding from the messy frosting hands)
Look at that belly!
One of Violets favorite books!
Mr Piggy Bank - it sings songs and Violet dances to it
Violets first baby doll - we are practicing hugs.
