2011...

So, collectively, 2010 can suck it. Sorry for our candor, but Team Awesome is hoping that 2011 is a much better year than last year! Griffin is nearing the end of his 2nd year and that just seems crazy as we all remember him being such a little nugget. He's getting more active every day and is starting to talk (especially with some help with his weekly speech therapy sessions) and he absolutely adores his "Bro Bro". Christmas was a blast this year with both of them opening presents as Griffin realized this year that the toys inside the presents were better than the actual gift wrap and its taste. Jersey has has snow on the ground for almost a full month so that's been somewhat fun for the boys...somewhat since we can't go to the park but they both love playing in the snow and sneaking handfuls to chomp when we are not paying close enough attention. I'm hoping to update more often as we've been laying a bit low on the posting...here's some pics to tide you over until the next update.

Who Loves Pumpkin Pie?

THIS GUY Loves Pumpkin Pie...I made Mommom's pumpkin pie and while Riley wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, Griffin thought it was the best treat ever!

Bday Fun....

We had Riley's party at the Little Gym this year and it was great! Both Riley and Griffin go there for "gym" classes each week so we are super comfortable with the staff plus all the mess and fuss stays out of the house, ha! Here's some pics..

Birthday cake at home (yes, it's a Pepperidge Farm cake- embarrassing, yes, but I just made a batch of cupcakes for school and was looking at 50 more for the birthday party, plus it was "gym night"! Uncle Woobs phoned in and sang happy birthday on speaker phone!
