tag....i'm it!

Well, I can't believe I am doing this, but thought it would be fun. I have been "tagged" and I am finally going to "play" along and not "run" the other way! I hope to "catch" some of you and hope you'll join the fun too!

I have had some comments about our blog being "only about Garrett" and it bothering some that it doesn't have more about "us". I figure that Garrett is what our lives are mostly about right now and we enjoy sharing the love we have for him with all of you! I have to admit that it would be nice to know what is going on in our lives too. For all of you recent bloggers, WE (Colin and I) have had a blog since 2005!!! It was all Colin's doing with him being into computers and all and I thought he was silly to have one! But since practically the day we found out that we were pregnant, Colin started this one about our precious baby boy. Now that I am the main author of this one (hint, hint honey!) I am thinking I will still update this one until Garrett is a little bit older and then we'll start using our family blog more. There is no use in having two blogs...right? I can hardly keep up with this one! Now Colin thinks I am the silly one because I could look at blogs all day! :) So, if you want to know what we did in 2005 and 2006....look at our posts here!

Anyway, here is a peek into the life of GARRETT'S MOM!!!! Thanks Linds for the tag and I apologize to all of you for not doing other tags in the past. I love reading them on other people's blogs and getting to know all of you better....
