Newest Addition to the Family

After a VERY long hiatus, I finally asked Shea to show me how to update this thing. So I will attempt to keep it current.

It certainly took a few weeks to get used to having another little one around here, but things have fallen into place now. Caleb definitely seems to have a stronger personality than Carson did at this age, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. Even in these 2 short months, Caleb has been such an amazing addition to our family - even his big brother Carson already loves him.

Here's Caleb at 2 weeks...

And at 4 weeks, he's becoming quite a chunk...

But hopefully they will be the best of friends...

Griswald family vacation to the atlantic coast

Danielle and Carson with the "Paula Deen Boys", Bobby Deen and Jamie Deen.  We ate lunch at Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah, GA.  It was as us southerners call it, "Good eatins".

Carson in Hilton Head Island, SC, on his first trip to the beach.

First night in Charleston, just in time for Hurricane Hanna to miss us by 60 miles to the north.

Introduction to wrestling

I wanted to show Carson a basic move at first.  This is what I call "the body slam".  He has no idea what he is about to get himself into.

He quickly ripped off his shirt after I slammed him to the ground.  I went into Mike Tyson mode, and started to bite his little ear.  That is when I must admit, I don't remember anything else.  Warning: What you are about to see is a little dude gone wild.

Here is what Carson whispered in my ear as an "armbar".  I guess that is a MMA term (Mixed Martial Arts).  It hurt.

This is my son jumping from the ceiling fan on top of me, delivering a knockout blow as he used his 20lb frame to take my breath away.

When did 8 month old boys learn 

to use a knee to the back of the head????

Here is where dad faced the ultimate humiliation... The dreaded "tap out".  I didn't wake up for 3 days.

To add insult to injury, my wife holds him up, declared as "the Champion: Carson the Crippler"

Shocking before and after photos of Carson's first bath...

I am so happy right now, please let me just sleep for a little bit longer...






No, how can you do this!!!!!!!!!!!!







I will get you guys back for this later!!!!!!!!

Getting ready for the summer nights...

When the air goes out at my house, I have to go into "Arabian Night mode"

First smile caught on tape....

Pics of the little man

Carson means "please, no cameras"

Don't you know the Super Bowl is on?? Turn me right side up!!!

This picture is of me in the nursery, just before getting tasered by hospital staff for being too excited about the birth of my son:)

This is little man coming home from the hospital,

turning the little female heads on the way by the nursery.

Here Carson is trying to motion the

"Call me" sign with his hand.
