Griffin's Big Day (Not his Birthday)

This is a brief chronicle of the adventures of Griffin and the Billings Family.

Early in the morning we got up to drive to Atlanta. Griffin needed to have a large dark mole removed from his right jaw line. Here he is clinging to his rented Wall-E video before the drive.


Here he is waking up from the anesthetic. When Griffin was put under Mollie was told that he was the best behaved and that she did the best coaching of anyone else that had come in that day. He woke up a little groggy but a pop-sickle and a few animal crackers later he was as good as new; almost as if nothing happened at all.


At the hospital there was a giant 8ft. x 20ft. movie screen that had ocean shots on it. There were buttons Griffin could push that would play different movies shorts. He was very entertained.


Back home again. Here he is with his PJs' and his Wall-E glasses. In the end I think Mollie and I were more worked-up about the whole "surgery" than Griffin ever was.


...and I could not call this an official "Billings Southeast" post without including a picture of the ever beautiful/cute Olive June.

Leading Up To Halloween











Here are some pictures from when Grandma Karen Mora came out to visit. Prior to Halloween we went to a pumpkin patch, as you can see. We had a really good time with Karen and we are counting the days until we can see her, and everyone else at Christmas.

These days Olive really likes her exer-saucer and she has just started to eat rice cereal. More photos coming soon...
