My hubby looks at me like that still and I treasure it because some women wish they could find a good man who will still look at them the same way they did years before."
- Dee, on The Wahlbergs Have a Park Playdate"If you ask Violet what I do, she'll say she remembers me bowing on stage when I did a show in New York, and so she'll say, 'My mom sometimes will bow on stage and sometimes she gets her hair and makeup done.' It's a great job!"
- Jennifer Garner, on Violet Affleck Thinks Mom Works in a TrailerJennifer Garner, 35, leaves a public library in Pacific Palisades, CA, today with daughter Violet Anne, 2. It seems as if Violet picked out a few books to take home with her. Dad is actor Ben Affleck.

Love Violet’s pigtails.
January 25th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I always love seeing pictures of this family. To me they seem really normal compared to most of the other “Hollywood-families”
Violet is such a cutie, a total mini-me of her mother.
I am wondering if Ben and Jennifer are thinking about having a second child?
January 25th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Seriously–if there is anything cuter than Violet–the only thing is Violet in piggies…freakin ADORABLE–love her little sweatshirt and the way her and Jen are so damn cute just doing something as simple as going to the public library–something that any normal person does every single day…::sigh:: I love this family–and I cannot wait til Ben and Jen add to their brood…whenever that might be…Violet is just to precious…

anyone know where violet’s jacket is from? it’s cute!
January 25th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Is it possible for a woman to make a child on her own cuz let me tell you, this little girl is ALL HER MOMMA lol… Too cute…
January 25th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
I love love love this family. How normal are they. I mean she goes to the library. Alot of celebs wouldn’t do this. Beautiful little girl.
January 25th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
oh the pigtails are killing me! too much cuteness!
it’s nice to see Jen getting Violet interested in reading at such a young age
January 25th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
I love seeing them too, but I’m starting to feel guilty about seeing so many pictures of them on ordinary errands like this. It must suck to have paparazzi clicking away at you at the library, the pediatrician, the grocery store…
January 26th, 2008 at 12:06 am
They are so cute, and violet is all jen, I see no ben in her looks. Either parent she looked like, would be fine though because their both good looking people. Violet is adorable.
January 26th, 2008 at 12:20 am
As if I didn’t already love them, now I see them leaving the library. this is just music to a Kindergarten teacher’s heart!!!
January 26th, 2008 at 2:18 am
I love the jacket, any ideas where it is from?
January 26th, 2008 at 3:27 am
As much as I love those two – Jen really needs to watch her weight! She’s starting to look awfully skinny! Violet is absolutely adorable, as always.
January 26th, 2008 at 5:33 am
Cute, Violet is the perfect combination of both parents.
Is Ben ever with his daughter on any of the errands? It’s always Violet and mom.
Jen is pretty, however she’s lost too much weight. Anybody else notice how she’s shrinking? This can be seen in the movie “Juno” as well. All this weight loss is aging her.
January 26th, 2008 at 6:22 am
I just love them! Violet is getting more and more beautiful
where is her jacket from?
January 26th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I have that jacket! I didn’t know they made it in child sizes. It’s Lucky Brand Jeans.
January 26th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
It’s so very obvious that Jen is a wonderful mother! I don’t mean to take anything away from Ben, but I just haven’t seen as many pictures of him with Violet. They seem like a beautiful family!
Sarah’s note: There were some photos of him and her posted last week.
You can see them here.

How wonderful for Jennifer to take Violet to the Library to borrow books, instead of going to a book store and just buying her the books. I love that!!
January 26th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
no only are those pigtails ADORABLE, but i love the fact that she takes her to a library, imo, it really is a fun experience when you’re little to look through books in libraries. im 15, and i’ve enjoyed reading ever since i first went to the library
January 26th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
They both look cute, as always (love the pigtails on Violet), but does anybody thing there’s something going on with Jennifer? She has looked so gaunt and unhappy lately in a lot of photos. I wonder if she’s recovering from an illness or having some personal problems. I hope not, on both accounts!
January 26th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Those are such cute photos! I work at a library and there is nothing better then checking out books to little kids. Some of them just get so excited about getting to borrow books and movies. I bet little Violet feels the same way!
January 26th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
So excited to see this; I know they’re not the first photos we’ve seen of Jen and Violet leaving the library and as a Librarian it is so wonderful to see the love of books encouraged in children. I think it’s even nicer to see a celebrity borrowing books rather than purchasing them. It’s great for the environment, it promotes libraries (yay) and it’s a savings for the pocketbook. Kids that age get such a kick out of picking out their picture/board books – so sweet! Violet truly cannot get any cuter.
January 26th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Violet as always is freakin ADORABLE! I also noticed that Jen is looking a little unhappy in some of the pics and she does seem to have lost a lot of weight. I hope all is well with her. She is my all time favorite celeb. I simply adore her.
January 26th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
If you didn’t know that Jennifer Garner was an actress, you would think she was a regular mother going about her business who just happens to have people following her around taking her pic. I think she’s probably one of the more down to earth celeb moms. She does every and anything with Violet as if no one was around. Supermarket trips, public library…when is the last time I even went to the public library lol! Love Jen, she’s a great mom.
January 26th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
It warms my heart to see parents taking young children to the library. I have always loved reading, and I always enjoyed going to the library with my mom when I was younger. In fact, I liked libraries so much I spent close to 300 hours volunteering in my local library in high school.
I enjoy seeing pictures of this family, however, I agree with the previous posters that Jen has been looking gaunt and worn out lately. I hope it’s nothing serious.
January 26th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
it’s an adult size, but you can find the sweater at nordstrom.com. search for “marnis flowers.”
January 27th, 2008 at 6:38 am
I am loving Violet’s pigtails. So cute. Her jacket is amazingly cute. Jen must have super strong arms to carry Violet all the time. I love how they never seem to have a Nanny. Well, they are never shown in the photos…but they are good parents. Beautiful little girl.
January 27th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Maybe she looks sad because she just lost her Grandmother recently. I think they were close.
