Blizzard 2010







So, we received a TON of snow this weekend. Well, a ton for us. It started Friday afternoon and lasted until the evening. Then the freezing rain continued off and on through the night. Garrett was so excited he had a hard time sleeping. He couldn't get out of the door fast enough Saturday morning. So, Chris and Garrett went sledding with the neighbors and even May had a great time. The only downfall was that we were not able to make a snowman because of the amount of ice mixed in. Excellent family weekend.

Counting Down

Amy is officially 34 weeks today, which means that we have only five more weeks to go until the scheduled c-section date. We are pretty excited, but not as excited as Garrett. He has been bringing us so many new baby/big brother books to read lately (thank you to Eva and Kerry for giving them to us). Amy had a doctor's appointment on January 18 and we decided to bring Garrett along for two reasons. First, because of the new rule in place at the hospital of no visitor's under the age of 18 and second, if he is allowed to come visit (fingers crossed) he will feel more comfortable with mommy being in the hospital. Oh yes, Garrett was excited because he was able to hear Sean's heartbeat.

We are so blessed that Garrett is excited about Sean's arrival and ready to be a big brother. We know he is an excellent playmate with Camryn, but to have seen how sweet he is with Sophie, and even Mackenzie (Kerry's daughter) it is just reassuring that the timing is right. We are thrilled to meet this little guy who hopefully will look like his big brother, because we did such a good job creating such a beautiful Garrett. Garrett and Amy have predicted that Sean will have brown eyes like Chris. Not too much longer .....
