SLACKING...

SORRY FOR SLACKING!!

I have not been able to load new pictures so I have been slacking on the blog. It seems like the Hello Picasa program is stinking for me. But anyways...We are doing great! Miriam is a huge and happy baby! We are so blessed by her. She eats, sleeps, and smiles great. Simon and Jillian are finishing pre-school this month. Simon just finished his Karate class and he even broke a board with his bare hands!

We are super excted about the Basque students coming this summer to Portland. Our friends Ana and Itziar will return and we will have a student stay with us! His name is Igor and he is from San Sebastian and likes Basketball. It is gonna be "good times!"

We love baby Miriam! Her dark hair caused Simon to say, "We have an African baby!" Today Jillian simply introduced herself saying: "Hi Miriam my name is Jillian Rose, nice to meet you." We thank our Father in heaven for this gift.  

The new Griffin family five! 

Introducing: Miriam Blaise Griffin! Born Jan. 12 at 8:12pm. She was 7 lbs 19 1/4 inches.
