Garrett finally did it! Last night, we were having quite the time chatting with one another about the day's events and he started laughing. He's been so close for weeks now and last night he finally let it out. It had to be the cutest thing ever! It's so neat to see his little personality come out. I could listen to him laugh all day. There's just something about the laughter of children.
Things are still going well. He continues to sleep through the night and eat like a champ! We took him to his first Azalea festival this weekend. We walked around downtown and looked at the crafts-Garrett slept :) The weather has been perfect to be outside.
School is going well. I have another field trip at lunch today with the 7th graders. We take them to a local Mexican restaurant and make them order in Spanish. It's pretty funny to listen to them and our waiter always likes to joke around with them. We only have 32 school days left (not that I'm counting, ha ha)!
I will try to post some pictures sometime this week! I know it's been a while!

Getting in the groove
Well I think we're beginning to get into a groove with me going back to work. Things have gone really well this week so far. My Grandma loves keeping Garrett and he's been super good for her. He's started to laugh more and it's so funny. I think he just noticed the animals on his bouncey seat and he just cracked up laughing at them the other day. I would love to know what he's thinking! He's been sleeping through the night too, which is a huge blessing with me coming back to work.
The kids at school were happy I was back but told me they wished the sub could grade their papers :) They all made me letters and drew their own impressions of a baby on them. They wrote the letter part in Spanish and they are pretty funny. It was nice to come in to those on Monday. I also allowed them to ask me any question they wanted on Monday about Garrett or about the adoption. I had heard many of them had questions and I wanted to use this opportunity to teach them about the process. Some of them thought that essentially there was a "line up" of babies and we just went and chose Garrett. So it was nice being able to share that with them.
The baby dedication last Sunday was great. I'll post some pictures this weekend. Obviously with coming back to work there hasn't been a lot of time for blogging or uploading pictures :)

Feeling great!
I think I've mentioned before that Tommy and I have been on a quest to lose weight! While it has been challenging, at times, we have stuck with the plan and it's starting to pay off. When we weighed last night, I was down .6 and he was down .2. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but his total is 12 pounds and mine is 21 (I started way before he did). I'm glad that those numbers are starting to go down! We'll have to see what next week holds.
Last weekend we had a really great time hanging out with friends and family. Tomorrow looks like we'll be heading out in the boat for a relaxing "day at sea"! I'm really ready for the weekend. Why is it that 4 day work weeks always seem so long?
We've decided against the cruise for now. Mainly because adoptions aren't covered under anything (and I mean anything) so if we were chosen during that time, we'd lose any money we had already paid. I think we're going to do some "little" trips just to give us a break from the day to day things. We are thinking about going to Savannah, GA for our anniversary in November.
School is still going great so that's a plus! I always forget how tired it makes me though. Tommy and I were joking around last night when I asked him what was going to happen when we had a baby in our house and we'll have to get up during the night :) Also last night, Tommy had to go back out to work, the phone rang (our caller ID pops up on the TV) and I realize that I don't know the number (it just said cell phone). I immediately think, "oh my, wonder if it's our social worker?"; it's the first time I've felt like that. Needless to say, it was a friend from church calling to give us her new cell phone number :) Oh well, maybe we'll get that one soon!
