  • Tony update

    For those of you who are devoted fans of this website and want to keep up on Tony, he is doing much better after his surgery. His hand is very swollen but seems to be getting better since it doesn’t fit into his splint the same anymore. He has another appointment on Monday to have it re-evaluated.

    Thanksgiving was spent with both sides of the family. The kids love seeing cousins and all the extra attention. We are planning on staying home for Christmas so it was nice to check in with everyone. We are inviting any- and everyone to Columbus, though!

    Check gisforgreta.com in the next few days for updated Ethan pictures. He turned four months old today!

  • My apologies

    We are sssssoooooooo behind on updating this website. Part of the problem is that I (Greta) started my own website instead of just taking this one over. I guess I thought Tony would continue to post here and add his links to stuff he likes so I had better have my own site. Anyway, Ethan is now almost 4 months old, Halloween is over, and Thanksgiving is around the corner. Weird. The family is doing well; except for Tony. He broke the bone that goes between his pinky and wrist on his right hand. It’s a bummer for both of us. He will have surgery next week. There’s snow in the air this morning which has the kids thinking they will make a snowman this afternoon and asking if it’s Christmas. Time is flying by!

  • Ethan’s one month old!

    It’s already been a month. Who can believe it? Ethan had his one month appointment. He grew two inches and gained about one pound. That kept him in the 30% for height but dropped him to 15% for weight. The boy eats every two hours. I don’t know what else to do to add some meat to his bones. Pictures will follow shortly.

  • Ethan’s One Week Pictures

    I know he turns two weeks old tomorrow, but here are his one week pictures. Enjoy!

  • Yearly Checkups

    The kids are another year older! Craziness! We took them together for their check-ups. Corinne is always the little princess. She did whatever the doctor asked with a twinkle in her eye. Mason was not so kind. He screamed at the doctor and looked pretty untrusting of the whole experience. Thank goodness neither was due for shots. Both are doing above average in the height/weight department and in their physical/mental skills. We are very blessed indeed!

    We had two days of summer mixed into our early spring weather. The kids played outside the entire first day and went to the zoo with their babysitter the second day. It was wonderful! We’ll have to break out the tricycle soon to see how Mason does. Corinne still needs some work on it before she graduates to a two-wheeler with training wheels.
