Griffin Happenings

I just wanted to jot down a few thoughts on things that have been going on lately. The house is still in limbo -- we are supposed to close on the house next Monday, so the bank needs to get things in gear right now. Very frustrating process and I don't recommend anyone going through this. Mainly, I wanted to write about what the kids are up to. Sami just turned 2 last week. I can't believe that I have a two year old little girl - she is growing up too fast. When you ask her how old she is, she will put up one finger from each hand to show that she is two. The other day, Stacey's Dad was cleaning out the lint from the dryer and he put on a face mask so he wouldn't breath in the lint. Sami saw him and it freaked her out -- she clung to her Grandma McClanahan's leg until she was picked up. Then, she said 'close eyes' and proceed to close her eyes for the next couple of minutes until Grandpa took off the mask. Silly girl! On Sunday, she got her hair put into curlers so it was really curly. She thought that she was something else with her beautiful hair!! Ryan right now is focusing on school. Stacey said that he comes home and does his homework on his own - he will get on the computer and start typing out his spelling words until he has them memorized. Great kid! He cracks me up when we talk on iChat, because he spends more time playing with the gadgets that turn the screen different colors or makes people have funny faces. I just sit and stare at him and laugh - and wonder how he grew up so fast. Hunter is busy with his legos. Right now he is making Custom Legos - meaning that he is taking lego figures that he already has and is coloring them different colors or taking sandpaper to rub off certain things to change their appearance or their weapons. He also has made paper capes and other things for the figures. He has made some amazing things. He sanded down two lego heads so they had half a head and then he glued them together to form a distorted face. He is sending pictures so I will get those posted. Stacey is still pregnant - but that will only last 6 more months. I miss being able to be there everyday with her and to see the progress of her expanding belly. Hopefully, we will soon be together!
