Chatterbox

We had a great little getaway for my 34th birthday to a cabin on the beach about an hour from Victoria. The weather ranged from amazing warm and sunny to full on rain storm which just made it all the more fun :)





Guess who can stay in the cold water longest?








Here is a video of Violet at the dinner table having some polite conversation for my birthday dinner - a bit long but pretty cute (her parents think anyway).

We have entered the princess stage of Violet's life - not sure how but all of a sudden she wants to wear only dresses (called princess dresses) and loves anything pink. Today I took her for a little treat to a specialty bakery and told her she could have any treat she wanted. She picked the girliest thing in the place - a raspberry truffle meringue - bright pink and very pretty - lucky for me it was only 75 cents.

Though she loves everything girly and in addition to the clothes also requires jewellery with her outfitts as well as just the right colour ponytail holder or clip - she loves nothing more than throwing on a pair of rubber boots with that outfit and getting it good and dirty.

We are starting our renovation on June 1st - but apparently there is some initial demolition about to begin on tuesday - wish us luck!
