6 years and 15 months





Saturday was a lovely "day before our 6yr wedding anniversary" day marked by hubby's wardrobe overhaul (thanks Kelly!!) and an afternoon at the spa pour moi thanks to Gma and Gpa's babysitting services. Capped off the evening with dins at Salmon House, some champagne, lots of vino, and yummy food - bliss.

I guess we still clean up pretty nice even though we are a couple of old married farts now.



My darling little Griffin has been a tad neglected in the blog lately and now that he is well past 12 months the monthly updates will likely slow to every once in awhile when I get to it. He is a full on walking machine, and along with that freedom comes a strong sense of adventure. He will climb anything and everything and his best move is the "hang-ten" with no hands from atop his turtle bouncy seat thing - a feat that I am not even sure I could do! He still sleeps quite horribly no thanks in part to the seven new teeth he has sprouted lately (3 molars, 4 canines), is still a good little eater (pickled beans - who knew?!), and has quite the little temper - guess he's getting some of his mama's stubborness - guess they had to get a little of my DNA somewhere!

January 2010 Round-up

Ah, it seems as though I am having a slow blogging start in 2010. Life is busy, boys are great. Griffin is now officially walking (by walking I mean that he is on 2 legs about 90% of the time) and it is SO cute. Again a little bittersweet knowing that yet another "last" milestone has been reached, but I think we are all happier for the freedom this affords him! Now if only I can get him sleeping, even 4-5 hour stretches would be a miracle at this point - mama is running out of dark eye circle concealing options....

Highlights from Jan 2010 thus far

Guess who is so happy to be walking?!


The Insanely Gorgeous Nona Navin at her surprise 40th party. A super fun party for the entire fam and then an even better mama's night out at the Loden Hotel after! Mmmmm...champagne! Mmmmm...cake! Mmmmm...appies!


The equally gorgeous Aunty Sha-Sha with sexy short hair and baby G-man

Sha, Baby G and I hanging near the food table (of course)


Visits with Baby Eli and the girls. Wee Eli is so precious and tiny but alas, no stirring from the ovaries when I hold him, a good thing I think!
