totally went MIA this last week! so sorry. i guess i am thankful that i am super busy??? not a good excuse for neglecting my blog right? 

we had a super fun thanksgiving week. we were lucky enough to celebrate with the swartwood family and a few of the bollards. the feast this year was extraordinary! 

we all fought the flu, but in between we were either at the movies or on the tennis court. we even played as the rain poured down us. so hard core, i know. 

jeff and i took advantage of circuit city going out of business & black friday to snag a flip video mino. i love it - what a handy invention! so now you will get to see us in action. 

grey will be 8 months on wednesday. he finally has a small desire to crawl, but would really rather be standing. he's pulled himself up to standing a couple of times, so who knows how much he'll actually crawl. music really motivates this kid! he's got some work to do, but it has been so entertaining to watch him try to get things he wants. his determination makes me smile. like father like son. here's a little clip of him yesterday at my mom's birthday celebration.

i couldn't figure out how to upload it, so i had to use photobucket - not great 

quality, but you get the idea

and i sound like a robot so that's kind of awesome
