playing catch-up

when violet developed a low fever on monday, i thought she was having a reaction to the MMR vaccine and/or flu shot that she got at her 12-month appointment (where the line on her weight chart chugged ever so slightly upward like the little engine that could), but now that my own sinuses are clogged, i realize that we're just sick. i promise to post all of the birthday festivities soon, but after missing a couple days of work, i'm digging out of a hole. it's hard to work from home with the poor ailing munch wanting to be held for naps and then trying to "help" by hitting send on an email to my boss that i hadn't actually finished yet. luckily we're both already on the upswing, so i think it's just a fleeting end-of-summer cold. (kevin, however, seems to have finally come down with it, poor dada.)

to tide over the most ravenous of violet fans, here are some cute pics that aunt mary sent of our pasadena visit, where violet demonstrated her love of bling, along with her future potential to pay her way through college as a pole dancer.
