Welcome Spring

Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. Things are great here. Jack is so much fun...laughing and smiling so much every day. We've been enjoying the warm weather, but keep our coats and umbrellas handy since we've been getting much needed rain and chilly temps a lot too! Last weekend we had company. Grandmommy and Grandaddy Garrett along with Aunt Kristy and Cousin Sean spent a couple of days with us. We had a grand time. Jack was feeling a little bit under the weather...he had his first runny nose. But his illness actually made him more cuddly and clingy, which everyone always enjoys.

We also had a visit from the Carrs. Dennis and Mickie had not yet met Jack and were also eager to visit the house and tour Josh's office. They brought Jack some very cute Georgia gear. It was great to catch up with them and made us look forward to football season even more. I think Jack will enjoy tailgating :)

This past week Jack tried rice cereal for the first time. I've been trying to give it to him every other day or so, but he's not really into it yet. He doesn't hate it, but he's just not sure he likes it or what exactly to do with it. I even put him in his high chair which was very cute. He looked so tiny, barely peeping over the tray. I can't imagine him filling it up one day.

On Monday, Jack and I got the opportunity to meet Rachel and Naomi Gowder for lunch. The Gowders are old friends of ours that are currently living in San Antonio. Daniel is currently serving in Iraq. Rachel and Naomi, who just turned 2, were visiting relatives. It was so great to get a chance to catch up. Rachel was very excited to meet Jack. Naomi is so much fun to be around and so entertaining. She says the funniest stuff!

This Saturday, Jack's Grandma Giles (yet to be named), Aunt Emily and her boyfriend Jonathan came to visit for a few hours. Grandpa was covering the G-Day game. It's probably a good thing we didn't go since I hear it was a nasty drizzle the entire time. It's been a busy couple of weeks, but the warm weather has us excited to welcome spring, which signals afternoon walks, evening grill outs and the Masters.
