Griffin Meets the Basses

It's always a fun time when the Basses come to town. Recently, Bryan and Kathy came to visit us with their two girls, Estelle and Veronica. Their trip started out a little rough...there was a very random string of rainstorms that his Southern California and (if that wasn't enough) Estelle caught a little stomach bug. After a few days though, the skies cleared and the tummies settled and we had a blast. We even made it out to the LA Zoo which entertained not only the children, but the adults as well!

It's always fun to have family over, but it seems even better when Griffin gets to meet them for the first time. We can't wait to see everyone again!

I love this one of Griffin for some reason.

I can just see them playing together in a few years!

A Belated Holiday Update

For Christmas 2009, we were lucky enough to have a couple of visitors from Hawaii with us. It was a special Christmas - Griffin's first - so it was only fitting to have some special guests as well. Grandma Barbara and Boozie stayed with us in El Segundo and helped us celebrate the holidays. After tiring ourselves out with the usual shopping, eating and just catching up, we managed to snap a few good photographs.

Griffin was very festive in his Santa bib.


Another Christmas outfit for Grif!
