Super Genius?

I think so! Not only did I make an excellent tasty dinner, using produce fresh from Ben's Mom's garden but I figured out how to get the pictures off my other Nikon! I was looking at the camera my Step-Dad recently passed down to me and thought "hm...I wonder if I could put that memory card into this one...then maybe I could get these year old pictures finally off the old camera..." And guess what? It worked!! Be prepared for pictures of snow, my trip to Boston last March and many more! I'm so smart! This also means I can start telling of our most recent adventure to California for Mike's wedding!

Our little Jedi baby. So cute, even though it's blurry.

Ben's shot of a beautiful sunset that got even more gorgeous as the night wore on.

This is the action shot Ben took of me taking a picture of the same sunset. It was breathtaking. I haven't developed the film yet though...

Every year Ben goes back to Falls Church, VA to play in his high school's Alumni soccer game. It's awesome to watch Ben in his element.

Winter 2007 when it actually SNOWED and was worth anything. It was so beautiful!

This is what our dog Hobbes looks like during bath time...

Stay tuned for tales of last Christmas, my trip to Boston, the place we lived when Matthew was born and other adventures that have already happened.

We are all back from our long and exciting adventure. After Ben picked us up from the airport we stopped at Costco and Babies R' Us on the way home to pick up one of those jumper things that hang from a door frame. We tried it out this morning and here are some pictures of his first try.

He really seems to enjoy it!

With all the toys attached. We like think its funny that it says "Sassy" right there.

We all had a great time in San Diego at Ben's Brother's wedding. Matthew and I had a lot of fun after that, but we did miss Ben, as we went to Northern California and Utah/Idaho.

Once I get the pictures organized I will be sure to update with details of our adventures!!

Stay tuned for more pictures from this weekend where the newest Griffin (my new sister-in-law) will make another appearance at a reception in DC and then an open house in Buena Vista.

Two Days Until California!

There are only two day left until we leave for San Diego, and other adventures, and I am super excited! It will be an experience to take Matthew on an airplane, but after this trip is over he will be an extremely experienced airplane baby, we hope.

Our first stop will be in San Diego. Ben's brother is getting married on Friday the 24th, but we thought we'd fly out early to take in Legoland, Coronado, a Padre's baseball game, maybe even Tijauana, to name a few. It's going to be a fun week to say the least.

After the wedding, Ben is flying home to VA with his mom and sister. Matthew and I will be continuing our adventure with a stop to my hometown(s) of Woodside and Palo Alto. We're even going to have a college terrace kid reunion which will be awesome since I haven't seen any of those old friends in a couple years.

After our California tour, we'll be flying to Utah and then driving to Idaho for a Ream family reunion. There will be lots of people there that I don't know but it was a fun time when I went several years ago and I get to see my step-brothers and their adorable families! It's going to be a fast and busy two weeks.

Now all I have to do is pack...
