ok, i know that this blog appears to be all about griff.

because lately it is.

this baby is the best thing we've done in along time.

(besides the other 4!)

he is pure joy.

i honestly don't know what i would have done with myself this school year.

(i maybe could have thought of something)

at least 5 times a day josh and i say to each other,

"seriously? we have an almost 1 year old?we are so lucky!"

crows feet. i know. just say it.

this is a series i call WHEN MOMMY ATTACKS!

he just lays there and takes it.

i guess he's used to it.

so that's all i have to say about that.

and on a much bigger note.....

josh's dad suffered a stroke yesterday.

it was very scary for him and our family.

luckily his wife was right there with him and callled 911.

at first he was unable to talk or move his left side but

they were able to give him the "golden shot"

and he has made a miraculous recovery.

he will have some speech and physical therapy

over the next few days but should be able to come home soon.

scary.

we are so grateful for the power of prayer and priesthood blessings

because i know that both of those things played a huge role in this.

we are blessed.
