Camping Trip

Griffin and I are back from our camping trip with my family. It was beautiful and we had a great time. I just wished that we had more time to spend with everyone. Also, it would have been nice to have a day or two to just relax before going back to work. Travelling alone with Griffin was pretty tough. I am sure he didn't like it all that much either. Nevertheless, we all had a great time.

Different Faces

I haven't posted much lately. Here are just some silly faces that Griffin was making. He really reminds me of my nephew, Michael, when he was a little boy.

Sunday morning Griffin and I took Burrito to a park. It's a different park than we normally go. There's a pond and lots of walking trails. The weather was perfect. We had lots of fun.

In the afternoon, I decided to give Griffin a haircut. Normally, Michele takes him to a barborshop. But since I cut my own hair, I thought I would give it a try. At first, griffin didn't want me to cut his hair. Then I told him that I would cut his hair just like mine, and he finally agreed.

There was one moment when I was checking his hair. I had trimmed his bangs and took a straight-on approach look. He looked so funny and I could not help but start laughing. Griffin started laughing too and it made it difficult to cut hair. I wish I had the camera. You would think it was pretty funny too. In the end, his haircut turned out pretty good. And Griffin was pretty happy about his haircut looking just like mine.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

It has been raining for several days. The forecast is rain for the rest of the week too. I thought about leaving my car outside in an open area and taking a nap inside. The sound of soft rain makes for a good nap. However, I didn't do it becuase we had thunderstorms and not light rain. With my luck, there would have been a hail storm or a tornado. I know we need the rain and I don't have to water the lawn, which is nice. But, it's a bit much for now. I do hope for some sunny days soon.

Michele had Griffin this weekend. It was nice to be able to do all my chores. Sometimes it's tough when you have a three year old. You feel relief when you don't hear them crying or fussing over something. But at the same time, when you don't hear the crying and fussing in a while, you do miss it. Yesterday aftenoon, I was at Target. I heard this little boy crying about a toy and he sounded just like Griffin. My first thought was how I've been there many times and I sympathized with the parent of that child. Then I missed Griffin. Even when they are in so much trouble, your heart will always know that they are your life, that they are the reason you get up every day, that they are your blessing.

Sponge Bob and Patrick

Griffin and I went to lunch today at a restaurant. Griffin loves fruit so I got him a bowl of fresh fruit. It had green grapes, purple grapes, strawberries, and chunks of pineapple. Anyhow Griffin ate all of it except for a cube of pineapple and a strawberry.

I asked Griffin if he was done. He said that he was. I asked why he wasn't going to eat the strawberry and pineapple. Did he not like them? Griffin said that we wasn't going to eat them becuase they were Sponge Bob and Patrick. I had to laugh. For those of you who know Sponge Bob and Patrick, you would laugh too. As I looked into the bowl, it really did look like Sponge Bob and Patrick.

Great day at Deanna Rose Farmstead

Griffin and I went to Deanna Rose today. Last night, I had debated whether to go here or to the zoo. I am glad we went to Deanna Rose. It would have been alot of work at the zoo.

We had a great time. Griffin enjoyed feeding the goats. Oddly enough his favorite attraction at the farmstead was the drinking fountain. There was a step stool so he could get a drink all by himself. He would have just stayed there if I didn't tell him we had to leave.

We came home and took the puppies to the park. It got warm and all the running around made all of us tired. We had fun though.
