Happy birthday, Garrett!

Wow, Garrett is one year old already! We had a birthday party Sunday night with some friends and family. It was a nice time, and Garrett had no problem being the star of the show. Here's a slew of pictures for those that can't be here in person...

"Happy birthday, dear Garrett..."

I think he shoved the whole cake in his mouth!

While I'm posting, may I just brag at all Garrett's new abilities... he can say and sign more than I can remember to list. Just today, he did 3 or 4 more signs and said "tee" for tree. He's quite the explorer climbing on everything. He's such a delight.

Garrett went to Rachel's day care to play in the water.

Here's an update to my veggie garden. We've been enjoying fresh green beans and chives, and the cucumber and squash is starting to go nuts- probably twice as big as when this picture was taken! There are little baby veggies all over the place.

Love the doggie!

Sparklers! Mike and Blake set off a bunch of fireworks, and Garrett wasn't scared at all! He just watched all the action, both on the dock and in the sky.
