The Collins': April 2014

Sorry for our absence over the last 2 months. Life has been crazy! We've been through 5 weeks of night float, 2 one year birthday parties, a week vacation to mexico. Lots of good days and lots of hard days. Violet is growing up too quickly, yes I must say this every entry. She walks (pretty quickly) and is trying to talk. She points to her diaper after she poops (meaning potty training is closer than we once thought)! She's got so much sass and fun personality that she definitely keeps us on our toes. Violet and I did swimming classes together which was a blast. We've had many visitors and have more to come! We have been loving Denver and have been taking advantage of some of the nice days to be outside and to work on our yard. Just wait for the before and after pics in a few weeks - you won't believe it.
Scott is doing great at work, nothing too exciting, but they do want him to interview for store manager position again this summer sometime. He's ready for it, but he is especially loving his role as a daddy. While I was working over 70hrs a week on nights, he was the best dad Violet could ask for. I feel very lucky to have him as my #1 supporter.
As for me, just 2 more months of intern year and then the new interns come! Second year is just as tough as intern year and then in 3rd year things get easier. I am ready for this next step and to not be low man on the totem pole anymore. I absolutely love my program and co-residents still!!
Scott and I just took our first trip alone to Mexico last week and it was sooooooo wonderful. Adults only, gourmet all inclusive. It was amazing to say the least. Violet was great for my mom at home in Denver, but I would expect nothing less from my cutie pie.
Here are some pics of the last few months...
