One Week Old

Emma is one week old already! She has spent 99.9% of this week dead asleep, but we did manage to catch one photo with her eyes open. These pics were taken over the past couple of days. As you can see, Morgan is very sweet with his baby sister. He likes her very much. The last photo was taken today on our first outing as a family. We picked up Sonic, and enjoyed a picnic at the park. Emma slept through the whole thing, of course...

Emma is Here!

We are proud to announce the birth of Emma Ireline Griffin on May 19th 2007 at 1:48AM. It's been a rough couple of days, but we are finally home with the latest addition to our family. She weighed in at 8lbs. 10oz. which probably seems big to some, but was an answer to prayer after having Morgan the Giant. Anyway, it was great to see all of the family and thanks to all of our friends that came by and sent stuff to the room. Here is the first video and some photos.

Morgan Climbs the Slide

It seems like Morgan is learning new skills every day. He's saying new words, getting up on the couch by himself, and has recently become enamored with climbing up the slide. So naturally we took him to the big park to try out his skills.

Take a Look at Our Photo Map

For anyone that doesn't pay any attention to the links in the right hand column, we have recently added a new feature to our blog. We have a Flickr photo map now. Basically, it's an interactive map that shows where our photos were taken. We posted some photos from vacations and what not retroactively but keep an eye out in the future as we make our way around to different places. Here is the link. Click Here

Justus 3rd Birthday Party

Fun was had by all at the Goodman household yesterday. Unfortunately, we forgot our camera so these are stolen from the Goodman's blog.

Emma's Baby Shower

Several of my good friends from church hosted a baby shower for Emma and me on Sunday. Here are some of the photos. Everything looked so beautiful, and we had a great time. Thank you Jaclyn, JoAnn, Misty, Rachel, Crystal, Celestina, Loralee, and Lindsey- y'all really know how to throw a party! Also, thanks Mom and Shannon for making the trip from Abilene. And an extra thank-you to Shannon, event photographer...

Sweet Ride

At last we have acquired the ultimate symbol of suburban soccer mom-ism... that's right, a van. But before you scoff, take a look. She's a pretty sweet ride! A 2005 Mazda MPV with fewer than 5,000 miles, great storage space, seats seven, and even retains the new car smell- pimpin'!
