My beautiful baby girl....

But she isn't a baby anymore! She has become such a big girl, saying and doing big girl things! When things in life are tough, we look at her and know we are doing something right!

Fall into fall....

This weekend was so much fun! Saturday we had Aidan's Christening (pics to come). Peyton was a big hit at the party! She ran all around with her balloon and made new friends! Sunday we did so many fun things. We went to take pictures for our Christmas card...I got some good ones! Then we played in the leaves while Matt attempted to rake them all up. Peyton had so much fun. We then lit a fire and layed around singing songs and reading books. Peyton likes to fill in the blanks on her favorite songs. We are really looking forward to Christmas! Peyton keeps asking "Santa bring toys?".

With so much to be thankful for......

We should always be thankful for all the good in our world and in our lives, but on Thanksgiving we are reminded a little more. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. He is my best friend and I truly adore him. I am so very thankful for our beautiful daughter Peyton. She has brought so much joy and understanding to our life! It's the little things to be most thankful for.....but be thankful for them everyday!

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

With Love,
The Gribbin Family

Where did the weekend go?

Did I miss the weekend? I swear they are getting shorter and shorter with more and more to do! Sorry no pics of Peyton this weekend - she is rebelling again! She calls my camera "Mommy's Toy". She wants no part of it! So I found a little baby that did sit still for me! Here are some pics of a session I did today of Madelyn Rose. How sweet is she! It gave me baby fever - until I walked into a messy house and a toddler putting her Nemo in the toilet bowl! GOOD TIMES!

Rollin...rollin...rollin.......

Peyton is OBSESSED with her red wagon! She loves to go fast and chase Mommy up and down the big hill. But getting pics of this little sweet P is a job in itself! She loves to take her friends in the wagon with her. We finally found a hat that she will keep on - she looks so cute in it too!!

Lil Miss Chatter Box

Peyton is starting to be more like Mommy everyday ....... she always has something to say! We are so amazed at how quickly she can pick up on things and store so much information. She knows her colors and points them out on everything. She also loves working with flash cards. She asks for kisses and hugs - which makes us melt! She is so expressive and happy all the time. She just discovered Christmas music and asks us to dance. We sing songs together. We will leave out words and she fills in the blanks. Potty training is going well - hopefully there is an end to all of this! Today we went for a walk in her wagon and all she kept saying was "Go Daddy - woooooooo" "Again Again Again!!!!!!" It was so cold but she didn't let that stop her.

Happy Halloween

Yup - she was a ladybug again! Yes mommy is obsessed with ladybugs, but Peyton is so into bugs lately - she points them out all day long. She had her parade at school, where she refused to wear her head piece! There were 2 other lady bugs in her class, but you guessed it - she was the cutest! We didn't do much trick or treating since it got chilly, but we went to see Aunt Dora across the street. Peyton LOVES her yard and all there is to see. She would only say treat (no trick) because she's no fool! hahaha! She was such a good girl all day we gave her some treats later that night. We love our lil bug!
