Swimming at Lake LBJ

Here is a video of Violet splashing in the water.




This is Violet getting ready for her first boat ride. She loved it! Don't worry, we hadn't left yet...that's why she's not wearing her life preserver.

"Sunning" herself in the shade.

Hooked on Phonics

Welcome Home, Althoff Family!

Some photos from dinner at The Salt Lick last night.

Greg, Kelsey, Henry and Milo. Don't they look good as Texans??

More Althoff love!

Violet and her daddy hamming it up for the camera.

Us.

Out of the box!

A quote from the nanny's notes today:

"Violet was very active today, played happily and the blanket is too small for her."

Apparently Violet rolled herself all the way across the living room. The girl cannot be contained!

Just for fun, here are some other noteworthy excerpts from Violet's Nanny, Olivia:
7/8 "Violet had a 'Traviesa' look" (Traviesa means mischievous in Spanish)
7/10 "Violet was very happy at the library, she enjoyed watching all the babies there."
7/21 "Violet had a different look, like playful, and talked a lot"
7/22 "We went to the playground today. Violet was admired by the children and had a good time swinging in the baby swings."

I look forward to coming home and hearing all about Violet's day. Olivia must think I am crazy because I ask so many questions. "What did she do today?" "Did she like it?" "Then what did she do?", and on and on and on...
