Crazy busy

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. Although I'm over my cold and spider bites, I've been busy with many things like teacher parent conferences, corn mazes, work-related stuff, Halloween, the next playgroup event and getting ready for our big weekend trip to Atlanta to meet and reunite Garrett with his baby house little buddies: Charlie and Jonathan. This is going to be amazing even if they don't quite remember each other, we hope this will be the start/continuation of a life-long friendship.

Last night, we called Charlie's mom Anita. Anita sounded like a really cool woman—I felt bad because we were forced to change our travel dates on her at the last minute and she was so sweet about it. It was also the first opportunity Garrett and Charlie had to speak to each other. Get this, the last time they saw each other two years ago they spoke Russian (in-between that time, Garrett had to learn yet another language, Kazakh, which really blows me away). Their conversation was really cute. Charlie told Garrett that he was excited to have him over for a sleepover and share his waffles with him. On the other end, all Garrett could say back was, "what you doing?" Pretty funny. The other cool thing is we'll be there to help John and Anita celebrate the two year anniversary of Charlie becoming a U.S. citizen.

I promise to elaborate more on all of this next week. I'm sure there will be tons of great pictures—maybe I'll even attempt to upload a video. Stay tuned...
