Trick or Treat

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.

How is this possible?

Recently, I keep hearing the same thing over and over. ”Wow Lakyn has really changed.” So I decided to investigate…. this first picture was taken at the end of July 2006 and the 2nd picture was 11 months later… how is this possible? Sometimes you see someone everyday and so you don’t notice the changes. That’s even the same swimsuit.

About Us

The Griswold Story — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:54:47 +0000

So first things first, we should probably explain our title. There would be no blog of our family – or our family at all – if it was not for Clark W. Griswold. That’s right, the Patriarch of the family featured in “Christmas Vacation” and other Vacation movies gave Jay and me so many one-liners that we fell in love… with each other. You see, Jay and I had many things in common but it was giggling over those stupid one-liners that really brought us together. Some couples have romantic stories of how they met…. we have Clark and cousin Eddie.

Every day after Thanksgiving we put up our family Christmas Tree while watching “Christmas Vacation.” Ironically, last year as we were putting up the tree (and Jay got somewhat stuck under it) the exact same scene was on TV… little full, lotta sap! Luckily I always have my camera near-by…

It wouldn’t be the holiday shopping season if the stores were any hooter-hotter than they are… here is Clark W. Griswold shopping for something ’special.’

Another thing to know about us is that we are crazy about our Great Danes. We now have 3 even though we vowed only to have 2 (you can never have just one). We just adopted Duke from a friend who was unable to keep him so he has moved right in as if he was always meant to be with us and even attemped to take over Vedo’s “Alpha Male status” to no avail. Maximus meanwhile continues to be our “old man.”
