Home 3 months... It seems like he has been with us forever...

Garrett is adjusting great to life with us in south Florida. Everyone that has had a chance to meet him would surely agree that it seems like he has been with us forever. We continue to take account of all of his "firsts" and the list goes on. We have been through first steps, first words and first molars... But we have also been through first diaper blowout (in Publix), first jammin dance moves (we dance a lot here) and he has even learned how to spit (thanks Jordan). But most significantly, he has learned that his bottle comes first thing in the morning (and he reminds us when we are late), diaper changes come pretty quickly and hugs and kisses are endless.

For fathers day this year we spent the day at the beach. It was Garrett that kept leading us back into the surf as we spent several hours yelling "OVER... UNDER" as the waves came crashing in. Jordan is always eager to join in and loves that her baby brother shares in her sense of adventure.

I spent my first weekend away from the gang at a friends wedding in Burlington, Vermont while Jordan and Garrett had the pleasure of entertaining 2 stellar babysitters at their beckon call. Aunt Gail and Uncle Kevin spent the weekend with our gang while Chris had a work function.

Jordan has experienced a "first" recently as she finally agreed to get her hair trimmed. For those of you that know Jordan personally, you will agree that Jordan has her own timeline of doing things. Of course the fast food lunch, ice cream, lollipops and merry-go-round ride may have played a small role in the bribing process. Mom even purchased a few things for herself as a little "reward." It was a long day.

We are taking a few trips this summer to Hawks Cay. One as a family and one trip with both sets of our parents. Chris and I are hoping to escape to do some diving and snorkeling with Jordan on our second trip. Garrett is already able to be independent in the pool with his floaty. He could "swim" before he could walk... Go figure. We are also crazy enough to take this gang camping (tenting) in the Keys at the end of July. It should be interesting tenting on the beach in the blazing sun in the middle of a Florida summer. Anyone care to join us?? The cooler is the first thing we pack up.

In the end though... You can find us cooling off in our pool, taking wagon rides around the neighborhood or at the beach. Makes it seem like we don't work huh!

Happy 4th of July!!! What a great day to celebrate being an American!! We sure are....
