A little downtime...

This time of year is a little crazy for us as it is with most people! We had an opportunity to relax over the weekend though and here are some pics.

Parents of young children out there- if you are not aware, moon sand is evil. It's messy and just awful. We had to take this stuff out to the garage (we tried to throw it away and she busted us). I think the pictures do a good job of showing what I'm talking about. Imagine doing this inside...


Un(fortunately) we had to sweep the garage and we lost about half of it because it mixed with the dirt on the floor.



Avery loves to hold Griffin and sing to him. I have no idea what she is saying here, but he seems to be ok with it. By the way, my kids actually do wear pants most of the time.



"Must...get...tail..."



Here is a good display of G's spikey hair. No, it's not from the static.



Have a nice day!

7 Months Old!!!

Griffin turned 7 months old over the weekend. Boy, has time flown by.


He is really on the verge of crawling and is still just a happy little kid with spikey hair.


He thinks it's pretty cool to stand up. Avery better watch out!

And of course, I had to throw in some pics of my favorite girl. And one of her playing with my favorite toy growing up (little people!)!

Easter and Things

Yes, Easter was a week ago. But it took us this long to recover.

We went to an Easter Egg Hunt at a place where I went when I was a kid. I'm not saying where because it was lame and Avery got jipped. Here is Avery attempting to run and get some eggs before a deluge of kids engulfed her and she wasn't able to bend down and pick up ANY eggs. That's right, she got nothing.



Luckily there was a playground nearby...



What Easter Egg Hunt?



Griffin is getting a little anxious to play on the playground as well.


"Oh, well. Maybe when I'm older."


And then the piece de resistance...Easter. The Easter Bunny came to our house and came to Grandma Elley's too. He left a lot more eggs at Grandma Elley's house for some reason.






And then a bunch of relaxing and releasing of one's energy to round out the day.








Stay tuned...crawling will be happening any day now.

Milestone Week

We're a week or two behind, but Griffin has had several milestones lately. Just one day after his 6-month birthday, he decided to bust out a tooth. The next day he sat up for the first time. And then less than a week later- he busted out another tooth. We'll post pics of the tooth as soon as they show a little better.

Here are some pics of him practicing his sitting up skills.
