Our dog, Benny, has been with us since just two years after we got married.  We adopted him the day after we bought our first house.  He was there as we moved in… …(don’t worry, we replaced that carpet).  He was there as we remodeled…    He was there when we got our fist kitten… He was there when we sold our first house… He was there for road trips… …and camping trips…    He was there

I realize that it’s been a little over a YEAR since I last posted.  What can I say, life got away from me and the blog got put on the back burner.  Here’s a *quick* recap of what’s happened here in the Grissom house (which is mainly for my own edification so that I can keep track of all these memories/milestones before my mommy brain gives out): Tim’s still “officially” unemployed.  Yesterday

That’s right my friends, Michala’s officially walking!  She has been mobile for some time now, but now she’s more independent than ever.  It’s fun and exciting to watch, and yet saddens me too to see my baby growing up.  I’m guessing that in the next week or so we will literally be running after her trying to keep up.  Michala is also very mischievous.  She is testing her boundaries-much to

Michala is 10 months old now and has started “crawling” over the last few weeks.  I don’t have a good video of it yet, but I’ll post one when I do.  For now, here are some cute pics…

We went to Saint Louis for the 4th of July and stayed at my Uncle-in-law’s house which is outside of city limits (which means all of the good stuff is legal) and thankfully my brother-in-law was in a spending mood which resulted in this lovely video of two (2) rolls of four thousand (4,000) firecrackers going off at once.  It gets a little slow in the middle but is worth watching to the end.

First off, Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads out there!  We couldn’t make it without you!  I got Tim a Roku player so that we can watch Neflix stuff instantly on our TV instead of on our monitor… he LOVES it (and so do I :D). That’s right ya’ll, my little girl is now 7 months old!  Where has the time gone?  She’s getting so big and is such fun to be around (usually). Not a whole lot

Spring is definitely getting a move on here on Boise.  It’s been wonderful!  The temperature was in the mid 70’s today…perfect!  Michala has been enjoying going on walks and not having to wear much in the way of clothing.  She has recently discovered her toes and likes to play with them all the time.  On a different note, Michala has also started teething.  That I must say has not been an

Ok, so I started this post almost a month ago… and yes, it’s taken me this long to finish.  Life is crazy. Our little girl is officially laughing.  It is the sweetest sound!    Jeff & LeeAnn came to town for the weekend.  We just hung out and had a wonderful time catching up.  You can check out more (and better) pictures from the weekend on their blog http://

I’m sorry it’s been so long since my last post.  Life has been busy, what can I say. We spent a wonderful time with family in Vegas a few weeks ago.  My cousin, Chase, and Michala got to meet each other.  They’re only a week apart, and it was so fun to get them together!  That same weekend Michala started “talking.”  She is such fun to be around.  For the most part, she is a very happy and

I’m sitting here at the computer listening to my beautiful daughter kick and play in her bouncy seat behind me.  The sun is out and it actually feels warm for a change.  And most importantly, I am not at work; the weekend has started.  Life is good! I started back to work on Monday.  It’s been nice to be in the “adult” world for a change, but boy do I miss by baby during the day.  She doesn’t

First off, I accepted a job at SuperValu in my old department.  My first official day back is February 2nd.  I’m excited to start this new venture, but am sad about having to leave Michala.  I know she’ll be fine, but it’s not the same…  I’m sure we’ll all adjust after a few weeks.  We are very thankful that God has provided for us financially! Michala has been changing so much over the last few

That’s right, Michala turned 8 weeks old yesterday.  Time has really flown by.  I am so thankful that I’ve had this extra time at home to spend with her and watch her grow.  Here are some cute pictures that we’ve taken since our last post.  This is Michala’s first experience with her Bumbo chair.  She wasn’t quite able to hold her head up yet…   This is one of the many snow storms we got

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas this past week.  My parents and brother came to visit from Vegas and we had a good time just hanging around together.  Michala is 6 weeks old today… I can’t believe it!  She is growing so fast and gets more entertaining every day.  She’s starting to smile and make cute baby sounds.  Hopefully she’ll discover her hands soon so that she stops hitting herself

That’s right, our little girl is now over one month old.  The time has flown by!  She is getting longer and certainly has more fat rolls and chubby cheeks than she used to.  Michala caught a cold and had a stuffy nose and cough for a little over a week which resulted in her making lots of funny noises.  Thankfully, she never ran a fever and seems to be feeling much better.  I too was

There’s not much going on in the Grissom house these days.  Everything revolves around Michala, of course!, and not much else gets done.  She does nothing but eat, sleep, poop, and cry and yet those simple tasks seem to take up my entire day.  Our sweet baby wants to be held most of the time, so I am having to learn to accomplish things one handed which can be entertaining at best. Michala

Sorry for the delay in getting this updated.  I had plans to get things going this week, but Michala had other plans for me.  Michala’s first week was fun, but really stressful.  Nursing has been a little challenging.  Tim and I went in to visit the lactation consultants at the hospital every day to see if we could makes things go more easily.  They were always able to get her latched on right

At 3:45 Wednesday morning I awoke to Elizabeth’s voice and the sound of dripping water. “I think my water just broke,” she said. I retrieved a towel and informed her “I’m not ready for this.” We arrived at the hospital just before 6:00 AM and Michala was born at 4:55 PM. She was 7 pounds 4 ounces, 20 1/4 inches long, and quite possibly the cutest baby ever. Both sets of grandparents arrived
