We found the video camera!

We thought it was lost forever, but lo, and behold! It was hidden in the bottom of one of Matt's bags of racing gear. A fresh new video for today.

Thomas the Train

We recently went to A Day Out with Thomas. The weather was terrible so we didn't get to enjoy the day as much as I'd hoped. The train ride was a highlight as you can see from the photos below. Griffin had so much fun.

Decorating and design

I'm working on accessorizing our family room and dining room. My focus has been the open shelving in the tv armoire and the cabinet above the buffet. Here's what I've got so far.

Fun!

I'm not sure who had more fun building this ramp...

Pure joy!

We recently discovered Thomas the Train. He's great fun as you can see here!

Starting him early

Kids these days...It's never to early to start teaching them about computers. Now if I could just get the sticky yogurt off my keyboard.

Christmas cake

Griffin had a ball eating Grandma's cake.

Aunt Elizabeth

It was a sad day when Aunt Elizabeth left, but at least she got some snuggles on the ride to the airport.

Garage Monkey

We had to know it was coming. G wants to be just like Daddy! Here he is helping Daddy on Thanksgiving.

Shark Attack! Halloween 08

G was so adorable as a shark this Halloween. We got to meet all our new neighbors tonight, too.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. G wanted to pick up all the pumpkins and was very curious as to what was behind the giant scarecrow.

The new house

It's a bit "over decorated" so you'll have to imagine it with a lot less stuff.

Tuscan Ridge, Southlake, TX:
Beautiful custom home on premier lot (greenbelt) in Tuscan Ridge. Shows like a MODEL home with upgrades galore! Rich entry shows beautiful archways, handscraped hardwood floors, hand troweled walls and stately columns. Custom trim, fabulous kitchen, all granite countertops and plantation shutters throughout. Wine room, beautiful built-ins in dining room and family room with extensive lighting. Award winning Carroll Schools. Don't miss this beauty!!

More new skillz

Griffin's got another new skill. He can point now. He's got a new word, too. It sounds kinda like "Heather" if you had a mouthful of cotton balls. "Hed jur" maybe? He's "talking" to me all day long now. He also says something that sounds like "Whatisit?" if you said it really, really fast.

Parking garage

Griffin got a Little People parking garage yesterday. He's enjoying it so far, as you'll see here. He giggled every time the cars came shooting out the bottom.

Ollie's a teddy bear

Bulldozing

Griffin got this bulldozer for his birthday. He was quite resistant to sitting on it at first, preferring to just push it around. He's warmed up to sitting on it as you can see here.

Tummy pats

Griffin has been slapping his tummy this week. He'll do it when he's really excited or if one of us does it first. It's been hard to capture on film, but here's a quick glimpse.
