Chalk Art

Sophia has been having a lot of fun on the new cement slab we had poured out front last April. She is really getting good at her letters and pictures.

This was the first time she did her name by

herself without asking me the last few letters!

This was her first attempt at her last name

A cute little person

A Sunshine

And the most impressive, a picture of her brother

(with his hair spiked up, of course)! How cute is this!

Sodo Mojo

Kyle has always loved Ken Griffey, Jr. So you can imagine his excitement when it was announced that Griffey was coming back to Seattle. In fact, that is where our inspiration for Baby Griffin's name came from. Kyle liked Griffey, but I, of course, liked a full name - Griffin.

So we finally bought some Mariners tickets and a week later Ken Griffey, Jr. calls it quits. Just our luck, huh? Oh well, the game was still fun without "The Kid" and it was a gorgeous day!

Griffin just couldn't take all the excitement.

He had to take a little snooze by the 5th inning.

A New Level

Oh Boy - just a quick post. That's all I have time for now that Griffin-boy is even more active. He can now open the doors in the house since we have the lever-style handles. He can climb up onto the couch. And he is trying his darndest to get up onto our bed. (I'm sure we will have a few trips to urgent care in the next few months, he has no fear of falling straight on his head.) He is into every nook & cranny, but somehow still manages to always be under my feet! I don't know how he does it.

Just a warning, if I finally get a moment to sit down (without being a human trampoline) - I will no longer jump up to get the phone if it rings! Ha!
