LEO has found a new home with 4 acres!

Ahh! It's a relief.

I found out today that Leo was adopted from the Humane Society this past Saturday by a new family.   His new home is on 4 ACRES with a pond(!).  The family has another lab for him to play with like we did, but with a much larger "playground"! The shelter says he seems to be fine. I thanked them for their work & asked what items (if any) they needed to help them with their mission.

 

So, we're passing along those needs so that perhaps you, during this holiday season of giving, could consider helping them out as well.  If you go to http://www.humanesocietyofpensacola.org, you'll see a Wish List as an option.  They indicated that the greatest need was for Dog Treats, CANNED dog food, Postage Stamps, Bleach, paper towels, etc…

 

Please consider being a Secret Santa for the animals who are still waiting for their new home! Garrett & Jennifer

William Turns One!

Update from Garrett-

Though the "official 1st Birthday Party" is Saturday, April 11th in New Orleans, tonight we celebrated William's birthday with a small cake for him to tear into!


He knew exactly what to do with the icing. He loved every bite (except for the ones that Sandy stole from his low hanging fingers!)

Dana Point California-September 2008

"Kaki" invited Garrett, Jennifer & William to join her on her exciting free trip to Dana Point, California, which is in Orange County between San Diego and Los Angeles. The hotel was amazing; the treatment was first class and the trip completes Williams back-to-back visits to the East Coast (NYC) and the West Coast before he turns 6 months old on October 7th. Unfortunately, Jackson was not able to make the trip with us, but luckily, he's still talking about his first trip to Disney World.

Birthday Weekend

Update from Garrett-
My Birthday is today, Saturday, September 6th and I could not have asked for a better beginning of the weekend.

Yesterday afternoon, I was surprised with an Awesome cake! It was a Saints themed chocolate cake, with raspberry filing and buttercream icing. (Jenn asked for the Cake Shop for a Fleur de Lis cake and .....I love this.........they ripped the Saints logo from the internet and printed it on edible icing!)

This morning, I was awoken by phone calls and email cards starting with my Dad's at 7:20 a.m. Next, Jennifer, William and Jackson quickly followed with several great cards and a really cool gift-a two-seater bicycle carrier for both boys to ride in as I ride my mountain bike. (see pictures)



Even though I'm turning 34 this weekend, last night I felt the urge to create a fun, 100% Kid experience in our backyard. It was the beginning of "Fall Backyard Movie Night". I rearranged our patio room, and, using my work projector and my laptop, I displayed a 4 x 10 foot widescreen image onto a white sheet I affixed to the South wall. So, with pillows and drinks at foot and in hand, we reclined and watched "The Incredibles" in huge high definition. We're planning to invite a few other neighborhood kids over the next time we do it and as the weather cools off. We're even thinking of showing a movie towards the end of Jackson's birthday party in October. Needless to say, we enjoyed it very much and I felt like a kid at an outdoor movie or drive-in! (Hopefully, our pictures & video show how much we were enjoying it)

Currently, we're just waiting for William to "eat" lunch (sadly, the menu hasn't changed in 5 months) and then for Mommie to get the rest of our stuff ready, because we're heading out to a bike trail in Milton to test out the new bike trailer! Whoo-hoo!

Jackson & Adam Rule the Skies and the Trails

Randy, Monet & Family stop by for a visit in Pensacola

Finishing off their Annual trip to the Destin beaches, Randy & Monet, Adam and Ms. JoAnn stopped by our house on Saturday morning before we left for our trip to McComb and as they were heading back to Lafayette & Dallas. Luckily, we talked during the week and arranged it so the kids were able to play for awhile (oh, and Adam & Jackson & William got to play too. ha!). The miles don't seem to matter to these crews............Thanks Brother!

Here is some video taken over the Fourth of July Weekend. William Patrick turns 3 months old on July 7th. (However, in this video, he's already wearing a size 6 month "baby's first Christmas" that was intended for much later in the year! Anybody want some 3 -6 month clothing....ha!)
