Fat Lip, Wiggle Wiggle, Snot and Sort of a Snow Day
Life over here has been interesting as usual. Branden had a wonderful trip to London. It was a very exciting 18 hours for him. Garrett and I got wonderful souvenirs from the airport. Garrett loves his London bear that we named Charlie. While Branden was jet setting around the world Garrett had a little accident while he was playing. He loves to dive into piles of pillows. Well, he dove but did not get up very quickly. I called his name and he looked up with blood coming out his mouth. He bit his lip when fell. So, he had a fat lip for a day. His teeth were not hurt, just his little pride.
We went to Wiggle Play Center in Frisco last week with our friends. Since we LOVE the wiggles it was a hit! Garrett climbed over everything and went down every slide. He started going down the slides facing forward then he started sliding down on his tummy. Silly kid! Erin took him into a bounce house with a huge slide and he came down squealing and saying, “WEEEEE”. I had a great time in the bounce houses too!
Somewhere we picked up a retched cold. He started with a runny nose and cough last week and it is still here. I took him to the doctor on Friday because he was pulling at his ears and was not eating very well. I did not want him to go into the weekend with an ear infection. But everything turned out to be fine. He gave everyone hugs and high fives at the office. I called his doctor this morning since it is still here. They called in antibiotics so hopefully we will be on the road to recovery. Normally I would have let this run its course but he is having his surgery next week and he does not need to be sick. So, wish us snot free days ahead.
We received a little snow last night and this morning. Our family and friends that are to our south received A LOT more than we did. But we still had fun! I think Garrett was more excited to be outside than he was about the snow. I gave him his shovel and sand bucket and he went around and cleaned off all of the chairs. He cried when it was time to come inside. We will get out tomorrow, with any luck. We went to Target and Petsmart yesterday just to get out of the house. He loved Petsmart. We looked at the fish, birds, kitties and small pocket pets. The mice and hamsters were his favorite. They put on a good show for him. He was doing big belly laughs! It was great! He saw a very handsome Doberman and said, “Hi, Dog”. His owner heard Garrett and brought him over to see us. Garrett wanted to be picked when he saw a dog that was much larger than him coming his way. But the dog laid down and Garrett got to pet him. It was very sweet.
Branden and I went to his company’s holiday party on Saturday. We were not sure we were going to make it with the weather but the roads were fine. It was at the Dallas Aquarium. I haven’t been there before and it is pretty neat. They have these really funny monkeys. I enjoyed it. Mimi and Papa stayed with little G-Man. He always has a good time when they come over. He had fun; we got a night out good times for all.
There are new pictures up! Stay warm and enjoy the cold weather while it is here.

keep us posted on his surgery! That must be hard to handle as a mommy, but I’m sure he’ll be fine!
