We had a fun time again this year at my parents timeshare. Violet had no fear of the ocean, she would run into the waves and she loved the pool. I love going back there to see my long time friends every year. I have been going to this place with my family since I was 5 so I have lots of happy memories of swimming, swimming and more swimming.
So here are the pretty flower's that Chad delivered to my work place the day after Violet's birthday. He never sends/brings me flowers to work so I was really surprised. They were from Chad and Violet as a thank you for being a good mommy and for a fun year. As he was leaving my workplace he received a call on his beeper and he knew right then that it was not good news. He was asked to meet with the big boss in another building and after 5 years he was laid off from his job (so were 100+ people that day). We were all very shocked. So for 2 weeks now Chad has been applying to several jobs in the area. I have spoken to my boss and will be able to work full time when his severance is up (Which I am so great full for, I love my LCCM family). Violet is having fun, she enjoys being with both of her parents. I on the other hand have been shook up by this, I'm one of those people that does not really like change. So we are trying to figure things out and plan to do what's best for our family. We have been praying a lot in hopes that he will be employed soon.
Here is the latest 4 generation photo. I thought it would be neat to have both of Violet's great grandmother's in the picture. In the picture is Elsa (my father's mother), my mother Miriam and Rita (my mom's, mom). We had a good time and Violet was all smiles which was a plus.
We had so much fun with all of Violet's friends. Chad set up a slip n slide, a soccer ball sprinkler, and a kiddie pool. Kathryn did the face painting for the kids and our neighbor Joanne played her steel drum for the party. I know Violet had a great time with all her friends. We want to thank everyone for coming out and celebrating with us.
