In Summary, This is What is Going On………
Thanksgiving, it was wonderful. We ate too much and had a great time spending time with family.
Baptism, yep finally did that. We have been attending an Episcopal church and really like it. The only problem is that the priest is left and started a new church. We will most likely follow him. Garrett was very brave during the ceremony. He did not get upset at all. Garrett was looking at the water but when Father Henry raised the dish to pour the water on him he looked up. Branden took Garrett from me since he is taller and it was easier to lean him over the basin. I was very proud of him for being so brave!
Snow Day, Yahoo!! Garrett loved the snow and said that it was cold outside. He did not want to come inside but his little nose and cheeks were very red. It was great watching him discover something new. I wish he could play in it more often. But, we will take it when we can get it.
Brazil, I am on my way. Garrett and I took Branden to the airport on Sunday. He left for Brazil and will be gone for 16 days. It was very hard for him to leave Garrett. All the way home from the airport Garrett said, “Bye, Bye Daddy”. Then when we arrived back home he ran around looking for him. He was sad when he didn’t find him. But if you ask him where his Daddy is he will tell you, Daddy went bye bye on airplane. I will meet Branden in Brazil on Tuesday. Well, I leave on Tuesday I won’t arrive until Wednesday. I am looking forward to getting away for a week. I don’t want to leave G-Man for that long but I know I will enjoy the trip. He is going to stay at Tia and Uncle’s house and play with Abigail and Sydney and will have a great time.
Garrett is talking up a storm theses days. He is a little mimic. I can usually understand him but sometimes it is hard. He loves to sing. It is too cute. He likes to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, This Little Light of Mine, His A B C’s, Happy Birthday and the song on The Little Einstein’s. Potty training is still going. I am not pushing it too hard. We have a lot coming up and I don’t want him to regress. After his birthday we will start pushing it a little harder. We are not in any rush. He won’t tell me when he has to go but if I ask he will go to the potty if he needs to. We will get there. I’m not worried.
New pictures are up!!
