visiting g-grams

we spent monday at great grama's house visiting with her, grampa, and uncle jack. as usual garrett "destroyed"" her house. he's really into throwing things lately so all of her decorations had to be put up, way up. we had a lovely visit!! lounging around on the couch

backyard sledding & updates

thanks to a snowy saturday we got a chance to go outside and play in the snow today and try out garrett's new sled. it was a hit for sure! we've been busy trying to get organized with our new room and new roommates. cindy put together the last of our new furniture, now just getting all the stuff put away is the next chore. all three of us are back to the regular routine with work and day care now that the holidays are over, which is no fun. we've also all been dealing with some cold/sore throat type issues for a week, which has been an added delight. garrett is getting a bunch of new teeth right now, one molar is completely through and two others are working their way up. this has made him a little more sensitive lately. he never was really bothered by teeth when he first started to get them, so i consider him/us lucky for him to just be a little cranky with molars.
today we had a thanksgiving in january, quite a feast here on biddle street and leftovers for days!!

2009

happy new year everyone! we started 2009 with a lovely blueberry pancake breakfast, which garrett thoroughly enjoyed.
