Merry Christmas

   We had a great Christmas thanks to a wonderful family and great friends. We were snowed out of our annual Pre-Christmas party :( But we have another idea in mind.  Stay tuned. I have many photos to upload, but I will leave you with one of VV in her Christmas outfit.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Hope he is good to all of you!!!

We are so enjoying our daughter!

She is getting bigger and bigger. Saying so many words. Her lastest is Thank you and phone. Here are some more photos. Oh and did I mention that she sleeps 9- 10 am . I am blessed.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Getting ready...looks like we will have a White Christmas after all this SNOW...I have decided to embrace winter this year. Check back with me in February with that idea. :0

Little Birdbath

Violet loves the bath! Here are some photos from the other night. I will have more updates soon!!!

Mama to Mama

I made this baby blanket for a project that Amanda from Soule Mama started. It will be sent to Haiti. If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please contact me.

New Rocker

I just love my new antique rocker that I found on Craigslist. It's about 100 years old. I got it from this sweet couple in Newton, MA. I need to do a little work to it, but it works for now. Now I just need my woodstove installed!!!

Thanksgiving

   We had a great traditional Veth Thanksgiving in New Jersey. Violet even made the front page of the newspaper. Here are some photos for you to enjoy. 

Violet's 1st Artwork

Here is Violet's first ART attempt:

Playtime

Here are a few recent pictures of VV. She is finally walking on her own and saying lots of words....She is very expressive...just like her mama.

Family Elephant Ride

 Did this at our local country fair. Violet was not a big fan of the ride, but Brian and I laughed the whole time.

Shoes!!

   We took Violet to get her first pair of walking shoes. A first birthday present from Grandma. Here are some pics:

Halloween 2008

Here are some pics from Halloween! It was great going Trick or Treating again. 

Madonna!

I was fortunate to see her in NYC and Boston. Violet missed me, but she knew her Mama had to been there!

Apple Picking

Here are some photos from our beautiful day apple picking a couple of weeks ago at Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury/

My latest shot!

I took this shot the other day. Let me know what you think. I will be posting and updating later tonight I promise. Thanks for all the comments and for following along.
