One Month Today!

Garret turns one month today! And, in one month's time he has come a long way. He is currently weighing in at 3 pounds, 9 ounces - gaining over 1.5 pounds in the last month! While he keeps packing on the holiday pounds Erin and Jim should be meeting with surgery some time this week to discuss his upcoming procedure in more detail.

This past weekend Garret also had a room full of loving family for his baptism. All grandparents were there as well as new aunts and uncles. Pastor Nate from Trinity in Waupaca came down to conduct the nice little ceremony. And, G.G. brought guardian angels for everyone who was present to hang on a small Christmas tree. The angels all had names on them and will overlook Garret and Erin while they stay down there over the holidays. After the baptism we all enjoyed lunch and conversation together.

With everyone away from home the dog cousins are spending some time alone. Auntie Missy and Uncle Paul have taken in Gunner the past month. And, it appears that Gunner and Chug are now the thickest of thieves. One thing is for sure, Gunner better start taking better notes from Chug on how to remove the holiday headpieces Auntie Missy insists on putting one for pictures. On the other hand, Garret is finally starting to fit into some of the adorable clothes he has been given, which is certainly one of many blessings to be counted!
