My sweet, sweet boy turned 8! It is hard to believe it has been that long. Garrett came to us on August 29th, 2003. His sister was so excited!
He was a big boy, filled with lead. He still is. :)
He has been kind and gentle since the beginning, and such a good sleeper.
The hospital waiting room was filled with many anxious people.... especially Papa Roberts. :)
Everyone was so excited to lay eyes on him for the first time. He has always been quite the hit.
Kaile loved him from the start.
Now my little boy is growing up.
This is Garrett at school with his birthday twin.
He specifically wanted cupcakes at school, so I spent the entire morning making cupcakes.
That night, after football practice, we had cake and opened presents.
An underarmor shirt from Uncle Slam. In his football teams color. What a hit!
And we ended the evening with a game of "telephone." It was a fun night.
Luckily, we had Uncle Slam for another day. After school, Sam spent an hour helping Garrett put together his new lego boat.
While Dad slept....
I love you Garrett! You are a gentle giant and are so willing to help. What an amazing example of compassion for others you show me. I'm very proud of the boy you are becoming! Happy Birthday!
