well hello,

...told you i'd be back...

i snapped these of the kids today after school.

despite the hazardous rain throughout the day today, the temperature was still pretty nice out and gave a sense of warmer days to come...

planning and preparations for the Gimli Getaway retreat in April are well underway and i'm getting VERY excited for this fun weekend to arrive!

new stock to stash away for the retreat has been arriving and i can hardly wait for everyone to see it!!

there are still about 15 spots available if you are still undecided, or if you need more information you can contact me at thegriffs@mts.net and i'll be happy to help you!

not too much else has been going on around home...

courtney had a dance competition on jan. 31 and did very well and came home with 5 new medals...she is now working very hard and preparing for the Winnipeg Scottish Festival competition this month...tyler is doing great in his swimming lessons and

tae kwon do is going strong...tyler loves it so much!

his 'uniform' came in last week, but it was too big...hopefully the little man will get it fitting right at this weeks lesson!!

here's a couple shots from last week working on roundhouse kicks and snap kicks...and doing some sparring matches with kicks!!

so awesome!!

...oh...

and thanks to the internet, i have taught tyler how to count to 10 in Korean for counting his drills at class!!

:O)
