Violette Between by
Alison Strobel

5 months...and counting

We simply don't know where the time has gone. Viv is 5 months old already! She is an absolute delight---we love watching her explore and observe the world around her. She is so innocent and full of wonder! Vivian is eager to sit up/stand/MOVE like the big kids and like us. She likes to sit at the dinner table and play with our napkins. Right now, she likes holding objects, but doesn't prefer putting things in her mouth. We're thankful of that right now, because that might limit her colds a little bit. (I'm sure being at daycare will bring on her first cold...hopefully not anywhere in the near future!)

Vivi and I completed our first 5K race together on Saturday morning. We race walked in "Race for the Cure" to raise money to help cure breast cancer. The race was through the Animal Kingdom park which was cool because we got to see the animals along the way. It was a great experience and I can't wait to do it again. I'd like to run it next time. Our teacher group raised over $600 dollars for the cause. The only bummer was getting up at 5:30 in the morning to be at the race by 6:30. Vivian doesn't usually get up until 6:30 and then goes back to bed for awhile after that, so she wore pink pajamas in honor of BC Awareness!

We're excited to get up to Chicago to visit and for the baptism. We'll be at dad and Rose's from Thurs.-Sat. and then at mom's Sat.-Tues. We have to be at the church by 9:30am on Sun. Hopefully everyone has gotten their invitations. If not, hopefully by Mon.
