Lemonade at the Griffin's

This week and next week Landon is traveling for work, bummer. But making lemonade out of the lemons in this scenario, Griffin and I decided to take a two week trip to Arizona to visit my family. We arrived yesterday and we are already having a great time. It's great to be here in Arizona's 70 degree weather while Colorado is hovering around 30-ish.

We wish that Landon didn't have to leave town, but since he has to go, we might as well make the most of it. My family is way cool and Griffin loves getting all of this attention from his aunts and uncle. Yesterday, Spencer took some great pictures of Griffin learning about the piano.

Isn't he a virtuoso?

In other news, my sister got a huge lemon as a gift from a friend. This thing is enormous! It's almost as big as a football. She's still trying to think of ideas for what to do with it. Lemon meringue pie? Lemon cookies? Lemonade? Whatever she ends up doing with it, she has a whole bunch of lemon to deal with.

My vote is lemon merengue pie, but lemon bars are yummy too! Have a great trip!

Cami Griffin (or whatever your last name is now)! I was over reading Alyse's blog and saw your name over on the side of it. I was thrilled! How are you?!? I've skimmed through your blog a little and saw some really cute pictures of your family having lots of fun in foreign countries and such things (lucky!). You look great and your little boy is adorable! If you send me your email address, I'll invite you to my blog so you can stalk me too. :)

I just realized you may not know who I am from the name "Stephanie and Nathan," and the picture might not be helpful since it's tiny and we haven't seen each other in years. This is Stephanie Calton from high school--one of your favorite friends! Let's be friends again!

I like that Becky referenced "Drop Dead Gorgeous" in her comment. She gets serious cool points for that one.

I'm jealous you get to spend two weeks in AZ! Even though you're away from your hubby at least it's fun to be with family and have really nice weather!! And that lemon really is huge, I'd have no idea what to do with it!
