SMOOCH!

There is no doubt about it. . . Griffin is loved and adored by his big brother and sister!

 

Little Pumpkin

Sweet little pumpkin pie! Mary Blake loves to hear stories about when she was a baby. Her favorite is that I worried she wouldn't know her name because I called her "punkin" all of the time!

Griffin's Baptism - 14 weeks old

This Sunday was Griffin's Baptism. Such a sweet day - surrounded by our families and our church family. Blessed day. I tried to get a good pic of everyone dressed in their Sunday best, but either Griffin was asleep, or not happy (as you can see)

The Cheerleader

Mary Blake got to participate in a mini-cheerleading camp at Mooreville. This Friday, we got to view all of her hard work. I dropped my camera right before the performance and didn't get any pics of her on the field. She really did a great job and had fun. So did Collins . . . quite the ladies man . . . he kept wanting to leave the stands to talk to his kindergarten classmates that were cheering too. I am not kidding you when I say that I saw one of the girls swoon over him. We are going to be in TROUBLE!

Trip to Jackson

2 weeks ago, we took a trip to Jackson to visit Lis and Jay and the Brashiers. JJ and Pops took the kids to the Museum where we enjoyed the Animals of the Sea exhibit. Lots of fun! We also got to see Elisabeth and Jay's new house and visit with them. Fun-filled weekend!

Crazy man

Last week I walked in to find Collins' feet sticking out of his homeade tent. He was sound asleep! Brad and I transferred him to his bed. . . around midnight he woke me up very upset that he was not still in his tent. I told him I took a picture of him and that seemed to satisfy him enough to fall back asleep in his bed. The next night when I went in to turn his lights off - I found him asleep on the floor again!

A couple of nights ago, Collins entertained Griffin by telling him about all of his trains. Griffin actually laid there and listened intently while Collins told him the names of every train! Mary Blake loves for me to lay Griffin on her bed at night for her to read or sing to him. Mary Blake and Collins will actually fight over whose bed Griffin will get to lay in for bedtime chats. He is quite a novelty right now. . . wonder how long that will last! Gotta love those rubber band wrists. . . Love my little chunky monkey

The sweatband and stuffed star

Collins very carefully planned his outfit last week. The navy blue shorts and blue tshirt were fine, but he topped the outfit off with this yellow sweatband. Yep, he marched himself into class with his sweatband on b/c he said it made him fast. Who knows, he could start a trend. . . Mary Blake won a drawing for this lovely stuffed starfish from Spongebob. I am SOOO glad we have this salmon pink accessory to add to her room. . .
