Mad props to Joanna!

Well, I've been gone a long time to Chile, 24 days to be exact. During that time Joanna:

1. Had to take care of Violet 24-7
2. Started teaching two classes at USU
3. Started teaching her private saxophone students
4. Got bronchitis
5. Lost her voice
6. Had to tend to a snotty-nosed and bronchitis-y Violet
7. Had to tend to 1 dog, 3 cats, 3 horses, 6 ducks and 11 chickens

And she did this virtually on her own. This has confirmed to me that she is some kind of superhuman person who can juggle way too many things at once and manage to keep it all together. I am so proud of her and you should be too. So without further delay we should all congratulate Joanna on how awesome she is. Please comment on this post with your favorite, "Hooray!", "Boo-ya!", "Nice job!" or other congratulatory statement about how wonderful Joanna is. Don't be shy, she deserves every bit of praise.

So now on to Violet. She is a very different little girl than when I left. She has more hair. She can crawl like lightening. She can pull herself up on furniture and people. She is far more animated and vocal. She's still cute (of course). Here's a video to tide you over until I can round up some more Violet footage. The sweater I picked up in Chile, I think she looks adorable.
