White Belt

Griffin earned his white belt (the first) in karate this week!

Here is a small portion of his test!

Griffin's February

It has been a busy February for Griffin!


He visited the live animals at the petting zoo. . .

and the long-dead ones at the Museum of Science.

He got an award at his karate banquet.

He rode the train for the first time . . .

and saw Disney on Ice!

He got ashes on Ash Wednesday.

He made a snowman in the front yard.

And, of course, he hung out with his friends at DD!

Gracie's February

Gracie spent her February:


Knowing something you don't know

Having fun at her brother's karate banquet

and at home

Looking up at all the tall people

and pointing at everything in sight

Getting her first ashes

and her first molars!

and, of course, chilling in her kennel!

1 Year Old!

Gracie celebrated her birthday a couple weeks ago with a party at Aunt Clara's. Here are a few of the pics!

Wow . . .this ice cream cake is good!

Happy Birthday!

Singing Happy Birthday!

The Play Date

Griffin and his friend Graham (from Preschool) got together last weekend for a playdate at Plaster Funtime.


Griffin made a Bakugan guy (of course) and Graham made an M&M guy!
COOL!
