How is summer almost over?!?

Life is so so busy, as usual. I am 2 months into my 2nd year (of 4years) of residency, which is great! 2nd year is probably our hardest year, so we're in for a rough one, but I figure it will go fast right? Just let me live in ignorance. It is really really tough working 60-75hrs per week, but we try to make the most of it. Every so often there are rotations where I only work 50 or so hours and life feels normal again. We have really settled into our house and made it a home with our new yard. Also, we got a new car! I've never had a new car, so I'm feeling very spoiled currently. Scott is doing great at Target - really not much new. Violet is a chatty cathy and loves to walk around the house singing. It is pretty stinking adorable. She can say probably like 50 words and can make animal noises when you ask her. She's working on her ABC's. Right now she really only gets to D and then it kind of turns into a mix of twinkle twinkle little star and ABCs. Still, freaking adorable. She is so smart and understands so much. It is such a fun age. Along with the fun comes the tantrums, which really aren't all that fun. She likes to throw herself on the ground and cry. Its rather hilarious actually. Most days, I can talk her down from her tantrums calmly, but sometimes, she stays on the ground and cries. Its a rough life she leads :). Scott and I are having a ton of fun with her. Over the last couple of months, we went to San Fran for a wedding, went home to Portland, we've hiked, been to jazz in the park several times, been on bike rides, had some visitors, etc. We try to live a pretty normal life despite the difficult work-life balance we have. And now for a serious photo explosion!!!
