Can you spell G-R-I-F-F-I-N?

Griffin is talking so much these days- he sings all the time and never ceases to surprise me with the new things he says and does. Today we were walking to Ladies Bible Class at church- we also walk to school 2 days a week- and he said, "I don't want to ride in the car, I want to walk. This walk is my favorite thing to do." Don't you just love those moments with your children? Here is Griffin spelling his name- I made up the song on the way to school that morning and he remembered it that night with no help. Sorry it is sideways- can't figure that one out. I also included a video of him singing to his cousin Lily- I just thought it was sweet the way Lily watched him sing. She really liked Griffin!

October Trip to Arkansas

We made our final trip to Arkansas with just the three of us. Griffin left early- Nathan's parents were in Austin the weekend before and he went back with them (yes, it was tough to let him go for 6 days but he had a blast with all the grandparents). He spent the first few days with the Smith's , then went to my parents house to hang out until we arrived on Wednesday. The picture of him in the flour is before we arrived, of course. I do not have any pictures yet from the Smith's- when I get a few I will post them. We arrived late Wednesday night and were so excited to see our boy again. We spent Thursday and Friday visiting family and letting Griffin play with his cousins- as you can see in the pictures below. On Saturday, we went to a pumpkin patch with Nathan's extended family and went to the Harding football game and then the Homecoming play that evening. It was a full day, but a lot of fun. We traveled most of the day on Sunday and I am sure I will be paying for all of Griffin's "fun" the rest of the week.

Griffin and Cousin Lily

Griffin loves his baby cousin Lily. We visited her this weekend in Arkansas and took some really sweet Fall pictures. We will have more pictures and a run-down of our trip later

Pumpkin Patch

This Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch with our friends, the Drennons (who probably has already beaten me to this post :)). Griffin, Kennedy, and Lleyton had a great time climbing on pumpkins, riding on a hayride, getting their faces painted, petting the animals, and just running around. It was a great day, even though it didn't feel very much like fall.
