Garrett's acheivement

Yesterday we were making get well cards for a woman in our church who had foot surgery last week. "Miss Esther" has been a wonderful fill-in grandmother for our kids who are so far from their own grandparents. Garrett got done stamping his words and wanted to write like Olivia. This usually ends in me writing the words while holding on to the pencil with him. Today he wanted to do it by himself. Not sure how it was going to turn out I just started explaining to him how to write each letter. With only a little manual assistance from me this is what he did.


G A A R R E T T - two a's because I helped him on the first one and he wanted to do it by himself.
Get Well Soon - pretty legible.
Token Gideon picture.
I love this picture of Esther and wish that Olivia had the same expression - but she wasn't in the mood for picture time today - oh well, it wouldn't be an Olivia picture without some sort of attitude.

WOW he is a little smarty. We always talk about how smart Olivia is and out of no where Garrett shows up! He did a really great job. And as usual the kids are SOOO cute, even Liv with the attitude.

Way to go Garrett! Aunt Erin wants a letter. :) We sent butterfly paintings the boys made to you all yesterday so you should get them soon. I thought you could use a summer reminder in the midst of all of your snow.

NICE WORK MAN! I bet he could write out my name..."J". Sometimes even i have a hard time spelling "Garrett".

Good Job Garrett. He needs to pass some of his writing skills to his cousin Shaylan. Gideon is getting so big and your girls are as cute as ever!
