Hello From California

Hello everyone, we are still visiting our family in sunny Orange County California (it was 70 when we arrived on Sunday!). Violet had a very exciting week, with many firsts.... some of them not as much fun as others!
  • Her first time in California!
  • Her first 18 hour car trip (with minimal fussing)
  • Meeting Auntie Tree in Visalia (Mommies hometown) and some fun gifts.
  • She also met her family here Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins for the first time.
  • Her first visit to the Emergency Room the day after Christmas - She had a fever for 2 days, and has a cold over a week, so we called our doctor and he recommended that we take her. She is fine, no infections only a virus curable with love and Tylenol. The nurses were crazy over her though, they would peek their head in the room to get a look at the "cutest baby".
  • She met Santa on Christmas, and was very excited to tear the wrapping off all of her gifts, we have LOTS of pictures of that! And she gets a second Christmas with the Barnetts next week.
  • And the best of all! We see teeth, so after days of not feeling well, now she's teething, and just before our 18 hour (2 day trip) drive home.
Once we arrive back I will download all of our fun pictures! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year DeGroots! I'm glad you are okay, Violet. Yes, Auntie Tree was over the moon to finally meet you!! Sounds like you had quite the adventure with mom & dad. Can't wait to see all the fun pics.
