Here is a little video of Nora, these days she is all giggles and stories. She loves her feet and likes to chew on her toes. She has rolled over twice but Andrew hasn't seen it yet. She loves to sit or stand holding your fingers. You will have to excuse my hair in the second part, I hadn't yet showered. The date is messed up on the video, I didn't catch it before the upload. She wasn't even born on 8/16/2010. Sleep deprivation gets me sometimes.


A little video of Griffin shaking his money maker after tubby time. He is so funny.

Winter Break

Well here are some snaps from our winter break as a family. Andrew took the last week of the year off and Griffin's preschool was closed and I hadn't returned back to work yet so it was family time. We have never taken a winter vacation together and it was a lot of fun. Griffin got to use his new tube and sled that he got for Christmas. We went ice fishing and even went for a short snowmobile ride as a family on New Years Eve Day. Nora did great, Patty snuggled Nora for most of the day. Griffin had a blast ice fishing with his friends and Uncle Mark.
Nora has started day care and seems to really like the lady. Due to unforseen circumstances we were unable to start her at the daycare Griffin went to like we had originally planned. But hoping that we will be able to switch her over in the upcoming months.
Nora had her 4 month check up in the end of December she weighed 12 lbs and 5 oz, believe it or not she weighs less than Griffin did at 4 months. I was shocked. She is actually taller than he was at that age. She is doing well, she is a really happy little girl, with a sweet personality. We call her "screech" because she will all of a sudden just let one out from the blue. It is funny to hear such a little girl yell so loud.
Now that the holidays are over Griffin's school is working on winter projects. They go tubing every morning if it is not too cold. He is nice and tired when he comes home at night! He now wants a snowboard so he can do tricks!


Christmas 2010

It took me a little longer to update than I had expected..Christmas was a blast, I have some videos of Christmas morning but haven't gotten them downloaded off the flip yet. Griffin had a great holiday. Here are some pictures from various Christmas parties we attended and the Doyle Christmas party as well. We went to Andrew's fathers work Christmas party where they had an organ grinder and chimpanzee. Andrew used to see the same show when he was a kid! It was a lot of fun, he threw a ball and did all sorts of neat things. Nora slept thru most of Christmas morning but that was ok b/c we had a chance to focus our attention on Griffin. His excitement was unbelievable, another great memory!
