Yay winter!

So, I fully acknowledge that have been sucky blogger for the past several months. No excuses other than the fact that I am DAMN BUSY!!!! So, we have the delightful pleasure of having our friend Johnny in town for "work" which really means he comes to hang out with us for a few days, and "goes in to work" for a few hours while each of us are working at our real jobs. This visit has reached it's usual end, Sean and Johnny discussing politics from two very different perspectives and me eventually losing interest and wandering away. What better time to blog?

I can't believe how quickly January has BLOWN by! Griffin is getting bigger and bigger every day, and has really got his life figured out. The stuff that comes out his mouth blows me away, and cracks me up, every day. We had a really fun Christmas, with Grandma Pam coming to visit and spoiling us all. Since Christmas we have been fighting off all kinds of illnesses, including strep throat and a weird flu thing. I will happy when we finally kick it and have everyone well. Griffin had a little "incident" with a kid at school who bit him, and it ended up spraining his thumb. We still can't figure out how that happened, but it resulted in a fun trip to the Dr. complete with an X-Ray of Griffin's hand and a little brace that we called his "bone bandaid". Griffin, of course, was completely unphased by all of this, and thought it was so cool to see his "skeleton bones".

Sean and I have both been really swamped at our prospective jobs, Sean has had some big jobs to finish and they upped my hours at work to 39 hours a week. All the fun of a full time job, without all the perks! I still love my job, but it is definitely a new crisis to solve every day. It helps me to appreciate my fabulous husband, family and friends who are so healthy and supportive.

To finish up, here are some pictures of us sledding in the mountains over Christmas when Grandma Pam was in town. We had so much fun, Griffin is a true mountain man. He has been skiing once already, and will be going this weekend again with my dad. He loves it so much, he won't even stop for hot chocolate!
