"He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly." Clement C. Moore


Grayson met Santa for the first time the day before Thanksgiving.
He really does smile most of the time!

Winter came down to our home one night/Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow, And we, we were children once again." Bill Morgan, Jr.

November quickly passed-Grandma and Grandpa Orton came up for a visit, and we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Struble. Lisa and Maddy came in the day before Thanksgiving and my parents came on Thanksgiving morning. We spent Thanksgiving day here in Rochester visiting the Dalys and then moved over to my Aunt Linda's house. Lisa and Maddy left for Syracuse Friday morning. My mom and I spent some time shopping and had dinner over at my aunt's while Kyle and my Dad headed to Buffalo to watch the Sabres/Penguins game. Kyle was disappointed the Penguins didn't win! We spent some time on Saturday with Beth, Ben, Becky, and Payton. On Sunday, Kyle headed back to Buffalo for the Bills/49ers game-this time Kyle was happy--the 49ers won! I took my mom to meet Lisa and Mat in Syracuse so she could return to Albany with them. Phew!! It was a great start to the holiday season.
Grayson continues to grow and explore his surroundings. He is getting pretty fast in his army crawl-but I think he will be crawling soon. He is also starting to realize he can pull up and loves to be standing up all of the time! He is now very active and I can tell by his frustration that he is ready to really start moving!!
We look forward to this month-I will be turning 30 and Grayson will be turning 1!!!
We wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season!

Pooped!

















I was such a good boy with all of the socializing that I was all pooped out by Saturday!
















Must be that is what it looks like when you sleep like a baby!
