Pictures

My parents sent Garrett a little package in the mail for Valentine's Day and one of the items was this sign that my mom made for Garrett to hang on his door. He was very anxious to get it hung right away and then wanted a picture taken so we could send it to Nana as proof that he got the gift.

Garrett is currently very interested in baseball. We play almost daily, sometimes in the house. Of course a nerf ball is used during those games along with a short bat that wouldn't do much damage. If any contact is made with the ball, whether it is with the bat or a body part, he immediately drops the bat and runs a circle through the kitchen and dining room. How do kids know these sorts of rules? I never told him to run "the bases" and Keith does not watch baseball.

I've started giving Garrett little chores where he can help out around the house. Here he is taking his clean clothes to his bedroom. He's much more compliant about assisting with the laundry or dishes than he is about picking up his toys. I wonder why that is? (And this is "what not to do" when taking a picture. I should have gotten down on his level. Now I know.)

And the last one for now. This is Garrett with the wild hog that Keith killed awhile back. (Taken in the back of Keith's truck.) I promise it's dead. And I can also guarantee you that this is a good picture in comparison to some of the others that were on the camera. Let's just call them disgusting and stop right there.
