We had such a busy/fun weekend! I am exhausted... well I think we all are. Violet has been sleeping the weekend off today and is now starting to wake up (it's 10 pm... oh well). Friday Diana, Peter and I took the girls to the zoo. I love the zoo and Violet does too, we let her just run around and it was great because our zoo is kind of small so you can see it all in about an hour and V was totally worn out by the end of our trip. I think her favorite part is the aquarium, she loves fish, and ran from tank to tank shouting look! Fish! It was adorable.
Here are V and her cousin Olivia playing with Peter on Sunday. We were at Ann and Larry's house for Grandpa's b-day dinner. The girls love to play together and we are planning a trip to the farm on Friday.

Grandpa Cecil and Grandma Shirley holding Claire. Happy Birthday Grandpa! We had Grandpa's favorite cake- Tomato soup cake.... it is actually really good!
Saturday my Mom and I took the girls down to Montesano, WA to visit my Uncle David's family. My Uncle Jeff (in the picture with my Mom) was visiting for the week and they had gone fishing everyday. We had an excellent dinner of Salmon (that had been swimming that morning). It was such a great night. I haven't seen Jeff in about 5 or 6 years.
My parent's are redoing their entire front yard this year. They had to take out about 12 trees after last winter's snow storm, so they are starting from scratch basically. My Dad has been building a stone wall all weekend and it is starting to look really beautiful. It should be finished soon, and then they will start planting more grass and putting in a stone pillar fountain. I'm excited to see it finished.
Friday we went to my Grandparents house for a dinner and visit with my Aunt Katherine and her family. It was great to see them, I haven't seen any of them since they came up for my wedding. Katherine's youngest boy is 3 and he and Violet had a great time running around and laughing. It's fun to have cousin's visit.
This is the beautiful Sunset from my grandparent's yard. I love to watch the view in this yard, it is very special to me, because it is where my and Peter's wedding reception was.
These are obviously all out of order but this is V at the zoo and she is backing up as this shark is coming right at her, it was pretty funny. She looked up at me for reassurance that the Shark would stay on the other side of the glass, luckily it did.
V all dressed up in her fancy shoes with her keys and ready to head out on the town.... oh wait I guess it's too cold to go out in a diaper and heels. V can walk all over the house, up and down stairs in her dress up heels. Impressive.
Claire turned 3 weeks old this weekend and we just love her. She is getting so cute. We took her to the Dr last week and she was 7 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches long. She is perfectly proportionate 20% for weight and 25th for height. Violet was always 25 for weight and 95% for height.
Claire is starting to spend more time awake and she really likes to just stare at us, we of course love to stare back. She is a really quiet baby, except when it comes to food. On Saturday I had just finished telling my aunt Lisa what a quiet baby Claire was, when Lisa took the bottle out of Claire's mouth and she let out the loudest wail I had ever heard! It made everyone in the house turn and look. It was so funny! She was immediately happy as soon as the bottle was back in her mouth and she could eat eat eat!

It does sound like a fun weekend. Claire is so cute.
Oh I love it! You are so good at keeping up with the blog and it's fun to see your pictures!
It looks like you had a good time at Gpa's party. I've never tried tomato soup cake, it sounds pretty interesting.
