SNOW!!!!! in MARCH!!!!

So, March came in with SNOW!!! Couldn't believe it!! And neither could P! He was so cute! He just walked around looking at the ground... specifically his feet walking in the snow...

It's Britney...

And if you know her, you know the rest of that phrase... and if you know me, you know I HEART Brit Brit!! Seriously, it's a problem, I know! But I just can't help myself! She's a Southern girl, just a year or two older than me... and I'm totally addicted to her music! If I'm in a bad mood, put Brit on, and I'm better... if I'm sad, put Brit on, I'm better... if I need driving music, put Brit on... if I'm cleaning my house (please hold the snickering to a minimum), put Brit on... if I'm changing P's diaper, well, you get the idea.

Anyway, since she's been going through her rough patch, I said to everyone that when she came back (because I knew she would) I would have to go... to a concert... and I did, but not just any concert... THE concert... the first one that propelled her back into the forefront of pop!!! And positive media! ha! So, here are some of the less scandalous of the Brit Brit pics!!! And following are the lyrics to a song about Britney by Bebo Norman (a Christian artist). The song sums up how I feel about her (specifically the 2nd verse)... just want to fix her I guess...

Oh, and before you see them, can I just say that I was in shock that there were mothers there with their 12 year olds?!?! I mean, really?? You could have taken a 12 year old to see Britney like 10 years ago, but not now... seriously... what part of the last year have these moms missed out on? The shaving the head part, or the locking herself in the bathroom with her child part? Anyway... I'm not 12, I wasn't with a 12 year old... and it was AWESOME and I love her!!

Britney im sorry for the lies we told
we took you into our arms and then left you cold
Britney im sorry for this cruel cruel world
we sell the beauty but destroy the girl
Britney im sorry for your broken heart
we stood aside and watched you fall apart
im sorry we told you fame would fill you up
and money moves the man so drink the cup

I know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
you never see it coming back
i know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
but i can see it coming back for you
yes coming back for you

Britney im sorry for the stones we throw
we tear you down just so we can watch the show
Britney im sorry for the words we say
we point the finger as you fall from grace

I know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
you never see it coming back
and i know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
but i can see it coming back for you
Yeah, its coming back for you,
yeah, its coming back for you,
yeah, its coming back for you,

yeah Britney i do believe that love has come
here for the broken
here for the ones like us

I know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
you never see it coming back
and i know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
but i can see it coming back
I know love goes around the world we know
and you never see it coming back
you never see it coming back

i can see it coming back for you
Its coming back for you... yeah

Well...

that should do it for now... I know, I'm terrible, but things are busy around the Griffin household!! Hope you will forgive me!?!?!

Poor baby!

Several weeks ago, sweet baby slipped on our new hardwood floors and hit a really hard plastic toy... eye first. After a trip to see the dr... just to be sure he hadn't really hurt himself... we were fully expecting a visit from Child Protective Services. Luckily, they didn't show... but after looking at these, you'll know why we thought they would...

He wanted to eat the ice pack instead of putting on his eye...

The next day, it was swollen shut. This is when we went to the dr.

This is the toy he fell on... face first and full speed.A couple of days later... I think it turned every color in the rainbow and there is still a hint of what happened left on his sweet face. Hopefully it will all go away one day!

First Haircut!

Sweet man got his first haircut! He is so funny! I love these pictures... especially the ones of him staring at Justin like: PUT THE CAMERA DOWN AND HELP ME!!!! The best part was that he slapped Courtney (the girl that cut his hair) the second he met her! Well, it wasn't the best for her, but it was funny! He's so laid back and calm, but he just knew something was up with her! ha! Before:

ch-ch-ch-changes

So, I can't figure out how to have a cute blog AND all of the fun stuff on here... I'm slowly trying to figure it out, so I'm asking for patience please!

other changes... Pfizer has decided to buy the company I work for. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing yet, but we'll see. God has a plan! The shareholders of my company will vote on April 23 to decide if they will allow the merger to take place. I should know more then! Until that time, please pray for us. This is the 3rd time in 2 years that my company has had a layoff and of course you all remember that Justin lost his job last year (although God provided an AMAZING job that he loves now!). My prayer is that God will put me where He wants me to be doing His work. If that's at Pfizer, then great, if it's not, that's great too.

Happy New Diet... I mean, year!!

So, 'tis the season to diet!! And I'm really on one... as I'm sure the rest of the world is too. But it's different this time... I PROMISE! See the little ticker right above here? Well, that's my weight loss tracker. I'm thinking that maybe if I put it up here for all the world to see, it may make me stay on it... you know, some sort of accountability thing. Anyway, I'm very well aware that 70 lbs. is a lofty goal, but I'm determined... and I know it will take a while, but I was going through some old pictures the other night, and I miss my body! The pre-baby, pre-feeding-drs.-offices-everyday body! And I've decided to take it back! I had joined weight watchers before Thanksgiving and had lost 7lbs. by my birthday, but evidently, birthday+Christmas+new years= 7lbs... who knew? So, alas, I'm back at square one.. .which seems to be the story of my dieting life! But NOT this time. I've even discussed things with my dr... and not just one I call on... my for real dr. during an appointment. So, please pray for me... pray for Justin (I get pretty cranky if I'm not losing and/or depriving myself of things I love)... pray for my energy and will power to work out and make healthy eating choices, and pray for my health. I just want to be healthy! Of course looking better would be nice too!! And to let you see what my goal will take me to, just feast your eyes on the hottie below! haha!
