3 Months!


Little Griffin is celebrating his 3 month bday today with a terrible cold, but despite that he is happily chatting and cooing away at me as I type. Last week, he weighed in at 14.5 lbs and is already into the 6 month clothing. Time to go shopping!
His neck is getting stronger by the day and we like to spend some time each day in the exersaucer. Tummy time is still not his favorite, but I am sure he will thank me when he doesn't grow up with a flat head : )

Welcome Rowan!

Mama Tanis and Kayna



Auntie Caldero and Grffin



A little late on this happy post, but a big loving welcome to little Rowan Winter Frame, a little sister for Kayna and another gorgeous daughter for Tan and John. Congrats to the Frame family!


Just a few days prior to Rowan's arrival I attended a lovely Mother's Blessing at Tan's house. As was mentioned at the blessing we don't often celebrate important milestones or rights of passage like becoming a mother or the art of motherhood itself. So, it was nice to focus a lot of love and attention on the mother to be and share a lovely afternoon with a great group of women.

Jasper's Major Milestone!


Well its only a wee trickle, but its the first official pee in the potty!

The View From Up Here

Wow. A view you usually only get to enjoy while cruising at 25000 feet....

The building peeking through the clouds is the Shangra-la Hotel downtown

Much Ado About Nothing


Ready for school

Griffin post-barf


Well, its been 10 days since I last posted, but I really have nothing exciting to post about. Griffin had his 2 month shots today, poor lad, and Jasper continues his love affair with school now that he is in the "big boy class" (I think he was tired of towering over all the smaller kids by at least a head).
I am sprouting new wrinkles by the day (and no, they are NOT laugh lines) AND I finally know what they mean by the term "dish pan hands" (from changing 100 diapers a day and washing each time). Goal for 2009 - only one child in diapers!

Happy New Year Smiles!


Surprisngly the entire Nielsen clan made it PAST midnight last night to officially ring in the New Year. I don't think that has happened since, well, last year : )

Here are some New Year smiles from wee Griffin...he likes to have his chins tickled.
