After four kids, ten moves and nearly two decades, we are still blissfully in love (most of the time) and I found myself back in the state I was born and raised in. It has definitely been a journey. In fact, on our 18th anniversary we pulled the last of our stuff up over the pass and into Montana, leaving our surprise love, Idaho, behind. But Montana is a great place. The last best place according to some. And we fully intend to explore as much of it as we can! Join us on our continued adventure through life, love and other stuff that comes with it.

And she is FIVE

After most of a day in pre-labor shopping for a dishwasher that we never bought, and a trip to the chiropractor at which I ordered him to put me into labor, Violet was born after a mere three hours of active labor.

Today she turned FIVE.  My sweet Blondie Pants/V/Vi/Cutie Patootie turned five.


Yesterday I asked her what she would be today.  She didn't miss a beat.  "Your favorite 5-year-old!" 

She is so right.  Such a great kid.  Her preschool teacher loved her and with good reason.  She has such a sweet spirit, is bright and has an easy smile.  Those blue eyes are certainly something else as well.

Happy Birthday my sweet Violet!  You get more beautiful every day!
