Look Mom, No Braces
Posted on November 20, 2008 by The Griswold Story
Lakyn got her braces off this week and it has taken her 3 days to allow me to get a picture of her naked teeth and then this is what I got… (at least she’s in a much better mood than when I wrote this post).

Santa Claus is coming to town… and it doesn’t look good
Posted on November 19, 2008 by The Griswold Story
for Lainey. She is driving me bonkers with this song right now. It’s all she wants to hear on my iPhone (and she prefers The Boss’ rendition with the E Street Band). I will admit that it is cute since this is also the first Christmas song that Jay and I taught Lakyn.
And don’t get [...]

A week ago today we lost a friend
Posted on November 14, 2008 by The Griswold Story
Last Friday an amazing woman left us physically but never in spirit. Heather Pick was a fun-loving friend, a super-mom, a caring wife and a rockin journalist. Both of her fights with breast cancer were fierce, but she never complained. She even made us laugh from beyond with her well-planned memorial service at the Columbus [...]

Posted on November 5, 2008 by The Griswold Story

A diaper… yep that’s right. My kid has been potty trained for 8 months.
7 hairbands and 3 barrettes
Sterile gauze pads, because band-aids are [...]

And Now, Your Moment of Zen…
Posted on November 5, 2008 by The Griswold Story
This was my TV last night as we arrived home from watching the polls. Oh sweet victory… YES WE CAN! I have to say that Senator McCain’s speech was very heartfelt. In fact, I would’ve liked to have heard him speak that way during the campaign. I was, however, very dismayed by his supporters [...]

How did this happen?
Posted on November 3, 2008 by The Griswold Story
How did my baby become a pre-schooler! This can’t be happening… it’s too soon. I’m thrilled for Lainey but I am so heartbroken at the same time. Here she is today getting ready to head off to school. Over the years Lainey has seen me take 1st day of school pictures of Lakyn standing [...]

Trick or Treat
Posted on November 1, 2008 by The Griswold Story
Well it’s my favorite time of the year! Trick or Treating in Ohio is wonderful. This year Lakyn was a widow and Lainey was a princess.
