Family Vacation

We just got back from our family Vacation yesterday. We had a great time. We went to Acapulco in Galveston. We rented a beach house and stayed for 4 days. It was great.

Avery and I went down every morning and made a sandcastle and played in the water. Garrett and m0mmy came down one day to join us for about 30 minutes. It was just too hot for Garrett. This was the only thing he wanted to do on the beach.

Avery's Castle.

Avery picking up shells at night with her mommy.

Garrett started to notice the TV.

Avery's Uncle Mark took her fishing for the first time. She absolutely loved it. Every time I'd cast her rod for her she would slowly start reeling it in yelling, "I think I got something!!!". It was so funny. Actually she was right, once. She then freaked out once the fish got in the boat.



We also went into town and got a great picture of Avery on the Strand and a great picture of Garrett in his stroller.

We had such a great trip, but now back to work for me on Monday and Lori goes back in two weeks. It was a great summer, and I wish we had another month together. Oh well, I can't wait for Christmas. That will be awesome too!

4th of July

Garrett has been full of facial expressions lately. I thought this one was funny because we started bathing him in the kitchen sink. We were using the bath tub, but this works much better. He actually loved this compared to the bath tub. I guess this is the deer in head lights look.

We had a great 4th of July. Lori's brother Keith and his Fiance' Meghan invited us over for some sweet BBQ, then we came home and took Avery outside to enjoy some Friendswood fireworks.

Okay... Seriously! She is just too cute. Avery is all about our new camera she's always posing. This was her watching Garrett's bath.

Garrett is so active now. He will stop in his tracks and find his mommy when he hears her voice. He is very active on the ground. He rolls on to his side, and he hits the rings and rattles on his tummy time mat. He is gaining more head control by the day. He holds his head up very well.

Garrett's bladder has been a little inconsistent lately, but he is only 6 weeks old. Mine is inconsistent and I'm 33. So with the recent inconsistency, we have moved from the once a day cathing to morning and evenings. Hopefully this will make it a little more consistent. ECI comes to work with Garrett on Monday. We will let you know how that goes. Last time she was pretty impressed with him. As always thanks for keeping Garrett in your thoughts and prayers.
