Hanging around

We took Garret to the local park, he loved the swing, he laughed so hard while he was in it.

Busch Gardens Trip October 18th, 2008

This weekend Garret went to his first amusement park, Busch Gardens, with Randa, Rory, and Mom. He had fun looking at the animal and all the action around him. His favorite part was one of the shows, Katonga, with African stories and animals. I can't wait to bring him back, especially once he is old enough to ride the roller coasters.

September 20,2008

here are some pictures from labor day weekend. Garret is growing up so fast. He is already pulling himself up to stand and he is crawling everywhere! Ill post more pictures showing off his new talents!

I havn't put pictures up latley so I took a few of Garret today. He got a pair of sunglasses from target that he has been sporting around latley. He also tried out a new toy which he had a blast with. Garret is growing so fast. Its amazing how he has developed over these past few months.

Garret's First Easter

Precious Baby Feet 1 month old

We are remembering to enjoy every little moment like the sight of ten precious little baby toes on cute baby feet.

Bible Verses from Mimi's BSF friends

All of the following verses are framed and hanging up in Garret's room. It is a wonderful reminder of all the prayers for Garret and his family.

He answered their prayers because they trusted in him. 1Chronicles 5:20

For you created my intermost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13

I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord... 1Samual 1:27-28

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

-Jeremiah 29:11

Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:4-6

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1Timothy 4:12

Grandpa Gary helping Garret model his blue puppy outfit

Looks like Garret would rather be doing something else but we wanted a picture of him with his blue puppy shirt and toy.

Rockin in the recliner with Rory

Aunt Rory takes any opportunity she can to hold Garret. This one was right before bedtime on March 20th.

Cross Stich Blanket made by Great Grandma Porter

Garret's Great Grandmother, Mary Porter, makes these cross stitch baby blankets. She works on them for months and finished this one while visiting in Florida and was able to add Garret's name and birthday. It also says "A star is born."

Garret had a good night last night. He hung out with his mimi, which must have worn him out because he slept six hours straight, which was nice. Hopefully he keeps it up. Today he hung out with some toys in his swing, and took his first trip to the library.

Week 2

This past weekend Garret recieved this teddy bear as a gift. I thought it was cute how it happened to match the outfit he was wearing that day.
