Christmas with the baby

Griffin had a blast for Christmas. He opened a gift the two days before Christmas and we went to Emerald Isle and opened gifts from 9 am until about 6 pm, taking lots of breaks. Griffin enjoyed the bows and tissue paper. We had a so much fun this year! We took a walk and walked out on the dock. It was just wonderful with our new family, although we missed Mojo. We also missed our family who couldn't be with us for the holidays. We're coming up on January 6-11 to visit. Griffin is crawling and pulling himself up. He's giggling up a storm and he has two very sharp teeth. Here are a few more pics Vinny didn't put on the web page.

Ho Ho!

Griffin met Santa for the first time last week at Airlie Gardens! He wasn't sure what to think but he didn't cry. Santa was looking well. We reminded him that we'll be at Grandma's house for Christmas. Enchanted Airlie was pretty cool. I'm not a huge fan of trains but they had an amazing model train set up. Griffin was so excited he was twitching!!

Our first baby...

Our sweet Mojo. He got sick last weekend and we were forced to put him to sleep. Everyone that knew him, couldn't help but love him. He was the most intelligent, mischievous, and affectionate boy. We had him since he was a puppy and he was with us for 6 exciting years. He was with us before we were married. He was actually with us when Vinny proposed (all 3 times :-)) He was at our wedding. He went to nursing homes, a charity walk, camping, on boat rides, to the beach, in the snow, in the woods, lakes, oceans and creeks. He loved Griffin. He lived a full life, we will miss him forever.

First snow

In November, when we were in Pittsburgh, Griffin saw his first snow.
