My Efforts to Stop Time have Failed...Again!

Well, she's gone and turned four on me and I guess I'll stop crying any minute now.  We had a lovely, simple party. It was cool and breezy. No one passed out in the grass and nobody needed the band aids and neosporin I brought along.  The rain held off until the last guest was safely in their vehicle.  It was noted that even the weather seemed to be spoiling Violet.

Oh, and Violet got her first big girl bike.  It was given along with enough safety equipment to protect a linebacker.  I suppose it's a miracle that I survived my childhood without knee and elbow pads.
