My Growing Garden

A Lily...

... and a Violet.

No, I'm not a gardener. (My allergies would never stand for it.) But I am an aunt; which is my favorite thing to be. My brother Joel, sister-in-law Valerie and niece Lily

welcomed

Violet Jane Nelson

into their family on Thursday, January 21, 2010, and I couldn't be happier. Joel and Val were going to name her Sophia Belle, but when they actually saw her, they couldn't help but call her Violet. (I like "Violet" better anyway, don't you?) So, raise up your glasses ...of cranberry juice... and join me in a toast to my gorgeous, growing garden.

SKOMPS!
