Faster than a speeding bullet...

We're in the thick of the superhero phase over here. Griff quickly shifts between SuperGriff, Batboy, Spiderboy, and Fireboy. Since Diego is emulating Griffin in just about every way, Diego is completely fascinated, as well. The first song he learned to sing was "nananana Batman!" Which is kind of funny because neither of them has watched Batman. 

We recently took a family hike at Lair of the Bear. It's a very family friendly trail with lots of trees for shade, and mini-trails for exploring. It was the first time that Diego hiked and he loved the freedom. They've both had major changes recently...including Griffin starting to draw people. 

I love these beginning people drawings! Little treasures...

A Little Facelift.

The last task that we were rushing to do...that had to be checked off the list...was painting the exterior. Paint was peeling off the trim and we couldn't stand the colors. We really were itching to get it done. Like many of our changes, we went back and forth in our decision-making. We talked about painting the brick, not painting the brick, dark trim, light trim. When it comes down to it, you just have to go for it. We're pretty excited about the changes! Take a gander...

Oh, and we're getting rid of the spherical light, don't worry!
