LITTLE BIG MAN

SO YESTERDAY GRIFFIN HAD HIS FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL AND HE DID GREAT! I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT HE WAS GOING TO CRY NONSTOP AND THEY WERE GOING TO SEND HIM HOME, BUT HE WAS A TROOPER. HE ARRIVED AT SCHOOL AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO PLAY. HE READ BOOKS, SANG SONGS, ATE LUNCH, PLAYED OUTSIDE, PLAYED WITH THE TOYS AND DID A BIBLE STORY. THEN WHEN I WENT TO PICK HIM UP HE RAN STRAIGHT TO MY ARMS AND GAVE ME A KISS. THEN I TOOK HIM TO GET CUPCAKES ( I PROMISED HIM IF HE WAS A GOOD BOY THAT AFTER SCHOOL WE WOULD GET CUPCAKES) . SO, I MAY HAVE TO GET HIM ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW. HE GOES TO PRESCHOOL FROM 8:30- 2:30 SO IT IS A BIG DAY FOR HIM. WISH US LUCK TOMORROW.

HERE'S SOME PICS OF MY LITTLE SISSY PIPSQUEAK- SHE LOOKS LIKE TINKERBELL :)

UNTIL NEXT TIME.............

THE KIDDOS PLAYING
KIM IS SO EXCITED TO BE AT GATTI TOWN
ME AND SISSY AT PAPPASITOS

GRIFFIN AND PAPA AT THE POOL

SO NOTHING TOO EXCITING TO POST ABOUT, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST FILL YOU ALL IN ON WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MY LAST POST.

THE KIDS ARE GOOD. SISSY WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND HAD HER 6 MONTH CHECKUP AND SHE IS PERFECT AND A TINY PEANUT. SHE WEIGHS IN AT 14 POUNDS AND IS IN THE 20TH PERCENTILE :) SHE IS BUSY ROLLING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SHE IS SO ALERT TO EVERYTHING AROUND HER. SHE LOVES TO SMILE AND GIGGLE AT EVERYONE AROUND HER, ESPECIALLY GRIFFIN. WE HAVE JOINED A MOMS GROUP IN FRISCO AND I HAVE JOINED THE BOARD AS PLAYGROUP COORDINATOR FOR BABIES. THIS WAY WHEN GRIFFIN IS AT PRESCHOOL 2 DAYS A WEEK SISSY POOH CAN MAKE SOME FRIENDS OF HER OWN :)

GRIFFIN IS DOING WELL. HE STARTS PRESCHOOL NEXT WEEK AND I AM PRAYING THAT EVERYTHING GOES OKAY. HE IS SO CLINGY TO ME I AM HOPING HE WON'T CRY AND FUSS WHEN I LEAVE HIM- WE SHALL SEE, SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED. GRIFFIN WILL ALSO BE TAKING CLASSES AT THE LOCAL TUMBLE GYM AS WELL ONCE A WEEK, SO MY GOAL IS FOR HIM TO GET REALLY TIRED ON THAT DAY AND TAKE A REALLY LONG NAP :) OH YEAH, AND WE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING USING THE BIG BOY POTTY. WE DONT USE IT ALL THE TIME BUT MY HOPE IS THAT ONCE HE GOES TO PRESCHOOL THAT WILL HELP AS WELL. SO FAR HE HAS MADE POO POO 3 TIMES IN THE BIG BOY POTTY :) AND EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BATH HE GOES PEE PEE (WAY TO GO GRIFFIN).

MY MOM AND DAD CAME TO TOWN LAST WEEK TO HELP OUT SINCE JASON WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK. ACTUALLY, HIS COMPANY TOOK EVERYONE TO PUERTO RICO (I AM GUESSING THEY DIDN'T GET MUCH WORK DONE THERE). GRIFFIN AND SISSY LOVE IT WHEN MY MOM AND DAD COME TO VISIT B/C THEY GET SPOILED NONSTOP. MY DAD HAD TO CUT HIS TRIP SHORT THOUGH AND LEAVE ON SATURDAY DUE TO THE STORM FAYE. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO GET THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA INSTEAD OF THE EAST WHERE MY MOM AND DAD LIVE. MY MOM IS STAYING UNTIL FRIDAY MORNING TO HELP ME OUT THIS WEEK SINCE WE DONT HAVE A BABYSITTER HERE YET AND I HAVE A DINNER ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, PRESCHOOL NITE THURSDAY AND MEET THE TEACHER FRIDAY AM. SO IT IS A BIG BIG HELP TO HAVE HER HERE. I GUESS I NEED TO FIND A REGULAR BABYSITTER FOR THE KIDDOS :)

SO OTHER THAN THAT NOT MUCH TO REPORT. I LOVE BEING BACK IN TEXAS AND SEEING ALL OF MY FRIENDS- IT HAS BEEN GREAT! BUT WE DO MISS OUR PALS BACK IN BOSTON, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO MISS THE WINTER THIS YEAR :) WELL, THAT ABOUT WRAPS IT UP.......

UNTIL NEXT TIME...............

THIS PAST SATURDAY WE TOOK THE KIDS TO THE CIRCUS AND A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL. GRIFFINS FAVORITE PART WAS SEEING ALL THE DOGS DRESSED UP IN CLOTHES. SISSY LIKED BEING HELD THE WHOLE TIME. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AND ENJOYED THE BOX SEATS. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GO AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

UNTIL NEXT TIME...............
