The Democrats are coming!!

Oh wait, they're HERE!! And they've brought their t-shirts with them...
It's pretty crazy! These t-shirt stands started popping up at any vacant lot last week, and downtown is officially a ZOO! Luckily we rarely go down there anyway even though it's only a few minutes away. But it's pretty nifty to watch the news shows on TV and see downtown Denver in the background.

And something every Obama supporter should have? Not a tee-shirt! Check out this make-your-own Obama, made by my new favorite shop here in town, the Fancy Tiger. Click Here!

Not only the Democrats showed up this weekend... my mom and Guy did too!! We are SO excited to have them in town for the week. My mom has lots of meetings at the DNC but we spent a great weekend with them and hopefully will be able to hang out some more the rest of this week.

We are glad to have two more people to help us "walk Violet". She is turning into quite the walker - as long as someone is holding her hand! She hasn't taken many more steps since our last post, but she LOVES to walk now. Here is Guy taking Violet for a walk after breakfast.
My mom and I went into Golden (home of the Coors brewery... yummy!) yesterday. Here is my mom and Violet in front of a cute horse sculpture. My mom was (I think) trying to get Violet to look at the camera. Instead I got this great shot. Sorry Mom, I had to post it!!
Then today we drove up to the mountains and went to Evergreen, CO. We happened to be there on the weekend of their art festival, which was also on the grounds of their historic museum. It was pretty cool! Here are some pictures from this afternoon:

And here is another video of Violet walking with her push-toy. She is FAST! And she can make it almost halfway around the block. But even if she is tired she does NOT want to turn around! The little stinker! We're not sure where she got that stubborn streak from... hmm...
