Ha! Congrats to Li'l Griff. It's good to have a release system already in place when those first chaotic months of college start...

Cool Griff, just far enough for her to soar, and close enough for you to feel available.

Just checked out the web site ... sounds like a great fit. And close enough geographically to keep her grounded, which is important. Congratulations!!

I got a call last Thursday from my 5 year old granddaughter sadly asking, "Grandpa, how come you never come see me anymore?" Well I had been by the house a few times in the week to see the older kids after they walked home from school and Emily is in daycare and doesn't get home until her parents pick her up at 6PM or so. I guess her siblings told her I had been there and she missed out.
So I told her I would do something special just with her on Friday and keep her with me instead of at daycare. The weather here in Texas was nice so I took her out west of Houston in search of those big fields of bluebonnets and other flowers. We got some pictures and headed home. On the way she lamented that she really wanted to be a Cowgirl some day (thanks to a recent trip to the Houston Rodeo) but she had no Cowgirl boots. So on Saturday we went out in search of the prefect outfit and found her some sure enough Cowgirl boots, belt and a hat, now all she needs is a rope. I think she had a fun day and so did I even if the boots and belt set me back $90! Can that girl strike a pose or what? |

I understand that it's a granparent's job to spoil them. Good work!

Did you train her to do the 3/4 pose? Or is modeling just naturally in her future?

I'm not sure she's real.
Too cute.

I've got nothing to complain about, I am her favorite and I get big hugs and kisses when I come around, she likes to hold my hand when we go out for a walk. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts as she will one day be a teenager with little time for me. |

she's cute as a button, chris. looks like she's got a lot of personality too.
Spencer sent this via text this morning. He's really enjoying pottery. he even skips lunch to go back to the pottery shop. This bowl is glazed using a Japanese technique called Raku. Quote:

(you can clear glaze over Raku and refire to make pots everyday usable, but it's not without risk.)
