Glo has Arrived
Hello from the Garretts! Hope this update finds everyone well. We are fabulouso! Our Aupair (live-in nanny) flew in from Costa Rica last Thursday and we had an awesome Memorial day weekend. What a blessing to have Glo, she is WONDERFUL! We already informed her that she can't ever leave. She is teaching us all Spanish and we are teaching her English, I don't know who laughs at who more. We laugh at her then she laughs at our made up Spanish words. For some dumb reason I just think if you add an "el" and an "o" to a word it becomes Spanish. El understando? It's funny to hear all the crazy talk around the house. We are having a great time and enjoying the new addition to the family. Soooooo glad to have found GLoriana (Glo)!!!!!!!!
We went to Roar's swim meet Saturday and man was it HOT!!!!! Even though we were hot and miserable it was fun watching the kids swim and cheering them on. Roar did well and is improving her times with every meet. She is also driving a golf ball 125+ yards. The girl can play some golf. She is very excited to have Glo here, she thinks she now has a big sister and is loving every minute of it.
Belly is runnin and gunnin. She loves to swim and looks adorable in the little "kibini" (bikini). She is talking up a storm and loves to boss everyone around. Her favorite words are "Momma...No No No" while pointing her little finger and giving me a dirty look. She counts to "twee" (3) and sings in many languages (none that we can officially identify yet).
Christian will be heading to Brazil soon and we all will be off to Florida the end of June. We are definitely looking forward to a vacation! My job is still great, we are doing a big photo shoot for our 2008/2009 Marketing pieces and catalogs so those of you that teach may see Roar is text books, catalogs, posters, etc. Neat perks of the job! I would love to hear from you all, email me updates on your families deannegarrett0502 at yahoo. Be sure to check out the new pics above. We ate at the Aquarium downtown Houston Saturday night so some pics are from there. Others are just random photo ops. Have a great day. Blessings to all!

Garrett May Newlsletter
Greetings Friends and Fam!
Can you believe it's May? I am just in AWWW of how fast this year has flown by. We are all doing well. Roar is involved in Swim Team and will be swimming 5 days a week until the end of June. So most of our afternoons are spent at the Country Club and Saturdays at Swim Meets. She has also taken up golf. So after school dad and Roar spend a hour practicing on the driving range then she goes and swims for an hour at the pool. Needless to say the girl is exhausted by the time we get home in the evenings. She is loving both sports and would rather be doing one or the other more than anything else. Christian is an avid golfer as well and spends 6-7 days a week playing and is loving being able to take Roar with him. HE and our neighbor take Roar and the neighbor's daughter Amelia out to play weekly. He is trying to get me to play but you know... it gets really hot and I just rather lay by the pool or enjoy the indoors rather than swinging a stick and getting all sweaty. Ha Ha. I am sure I will end up playing by the end of the summer BUT only if I get a cute wardrobe and matching clubs. LOL! :-)
Smelly Belly is growing like a weed and is smarter than the average Bear. She can wiggle her way into anything and everything and it's her way or the highway. She is showing many signs of being just as high maintenance as Roar (okay... And me). She loves to wear my jewelry, carry around a purse and look at herself in the mirror. (Now where in the world could she get those traits from???) She is talking up a storm and repeats everything. She loves her "Tita" (Sister) and will crawl up the stairs to Roars room so fast we never even realize she's missing. She has a boyfriend (Grant) that she adores and her sitter (Ana) says Bella bosses Grant around and he just follows her like a whipped puppy (That's my girl...Large and in charge!). We will be getting our Aupair (live-in nanny) from Costa Rica next Thursday and we are all sooooo excited. I have been working to get her room ready and talk to her daily, anxiously awaiting her arrival. The more I talk to her the more I love her. She is a precious girl that has all the same likes as Roar and I. Poor Christian, yet another girly girl to support. Speaking of Girly Girl, I had a birthday this month (29, incase you're wondering) and my sweet husband bought me a day at a beautiful spa which has been my dream my whole life! I am soooooooo excited about getting that scheduled and spent. I spent many years without a birthday so I feel I have earned this very special gift and I am sooooooooo thankful for it!!!!!!!
Well, I hope the newsletter finds everyone in good health. The Garrett's are going and blowing and lovin life. We thank God daily for our health and our good family and friends. Please keep in touch and be sure to check out the new pics posted.
Love to all!!!!!
