A day in the life of an Elf

Grigg had his first trip to Macy's 8th floor. A day in the life of an Elf was on display. We went with Grandy, Lisa, Paige, Maya, Jada, Brandon, Ang and Jackson. We had a great time walking through and learning all about what the elves do in the days before Christmas.


Grigg was mesmerized by the lights on the ceiling

My First Hockey Game

I got to go with my mom and maggie last weekend to my first hockey game. The players in black and red were easy for me to follow up and down the rink. Even though Lakeville didn't win im now looking forward to getting on the ice in the next few winters.

My Bumbo Chair

Grigg has graduated from laying down to sitting up....with a little help... we tried out his Bumbo chair this past week and he absolutely loves it. hes still a little wobbly hence the hand behind his head but hes getting better and better every day.

IM 3 MONTHS

My trouble with being a parent.

My trouble with being a parent is that my heart is so torn. I have just recently returned to work with excitement and a wholehearted feeling of significance while working. However, I miss my child. I miss having the luxury of getting him out of his crib in the morning, bringing him to our bed and just cuddling with him. Now, the routine is rushed and those precious moments of loving on Grigg without a timeline are just cherished memories.

There is so much value for me to be a part of working society, but I fear missing those special moments during the time I am away from him. I am so thankful for the time that I did have home with him and for the time I do have with him…he is just a fun little guy, especially now that he is responsive with his goos and gees!!

This weekend our little family made a few cherished memories with a trip up to see some of our family in Duluth. Grigg did great on the trip and spent lots of time playing on the floor and talking to Sue. Grigg also LOVED and was intent on watching Buzz and his guitar! It was fun to see him so alert! Grigg also got to meet Great Grandma at Jocko and Pam’s new house (which was beautiful!!). Check out the pictures from our great weekend visit!
