New Daycare

Garrett started his new daycare on wed. He did 2 half days and went all day today. His first day he came home exhausted. He took a 3 hour afternoon nap. Then he was ready to go to bed early that night. Tues was much of the same. He did really well and really enjoyed playing with some of the older kids. Garrett is the youngest for now. There will be a couple of babies starting this summer and fall.

Today Garrett had a little bit of trouble with the drop off. He didn't want mike to leave today. It only lasted a little while. We were really worried about today since it was his first time there all day. We were worried Garrett would not take a nap and would scream at the top of his lungs. He totally surprised all of us today. He only whined for a few minutes and then slept an hour. He woke up for a bit scared because he didn't know where he was and whined for a few minutes. She went in comforted him and he fell back to sleep for another 1 1/2 hours. Yahoo! I hope that trend continues. I guess we will find out next week.

Oh other good news. We sent in our I600A last week for processing. We waited a few months since we know we will be waiting a long time. We didn't want our fingerprints to expire. We have now been waiting almost 3 months for our baby girl referral. Garrett is keeping us BUSY! Time is flying. Here is the real surprise we already have our fingerprint appt. We got a 1 week notice. We go March 7th for our CIS fingerprints. We're going to have a busy morning that day. We have to be to our fingerprint appt by 8:00 am and then at 10:00am we are getting our taxes done. Yikes!

Here is picture of our happy boy from this evening wearing my hat and Mike's gloves. He was having so much fun.

Play Time

We had a fun morning. Garrett had a play date with some of his friends. Garrett was in the baby hospital with them in Korea before being placed with his foster mom. It was so fun to see them. Due to the holidays and we couldn't get out schedules all worked out. Any way our three families we're all in Korea at the same time last year. It's amazing how big they have all gotten.

Oh where Oh where is Spring?

I'm so done with winter. I have the worst spring fever..

It has been a fairly calm couple of weeks in the Scott house. I'm just getting done with my on-call rotation. The weeks just fly by. I blink and I'm on call again. Oh well, I'm just grateful I have a job. I'll get to more about that in a minute.

After a rocky start to the week we had a fun weekend. Garrett has stayed healthy with the exception of a runny nose for 2 weeks. So,were due for something to strike again soon. I'm crossing my fingers that we make it to our new daycare with out him getting sick again.

Mike and I had a great weekend. We got to go on a date day on Saturday. We saw a movie and went to dinner. Garrett spent the afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa Scott's house. He was having so much fun he didn't want to take a nap. He was so tired. On our way home we didn't even get to the end of their street and he was out like a light. He slept all the way home and then slept until 8:00 in the morning. It was nice to sleep in a little. That's very unusual.


Mike and Garrett get to have a little more one on one time over the next few months. Mike's company is cutting back a little. They have to take 2 weeks unpaid time off. But we are grateful for now he still has a job. It works out good. Our new provider is taking off a week in March so Mike going to stay home with Garrett. We were trying to figure how we were going to work that week. Then he will most likely be the one that stays home with Garrett when he get sick until he uses up the last week.

I got to have a few hours to myself today so I went window shopping. I couldn't buy anything tho. :-( I have to figure out the spring budget. Man was that hard. I LOVE shopping. I had a hard time not buying all sorts of spring stuff for Garrett. I think he's going through another growth spurt. He's been an eating machine. I think I'll wait another month before I buy any more. I have such a weakness when it comes to little kids clothes. I'm going to have the worst time when when we get our baby girl referral. There are soo many cute girl clothes. I can usually find cute boy clothes. But,I think it's just a matter of time before Garrett is telling me what he wants to wear. So I'm having fun picking out cute clothes while I can. :-) He's getting big fast. I can't believe we are just 1 1/2 months away from our Gotcha day and Home Forever day. We have 2 days since we got him forever the day before we left Korea.

New addiction

So I have this new addiction. I don't have time to dig out my scrap stuff every time I have a half hour. Now I can just do it on my computer and print them out through an online site.

I'm just figuring it out. But,I had fun doing this one. It was my first one. It's kinda boring.

Some good news

Well we got half of Garrett test back today. We are still waiting on the rest. But the good news is he doesn't have cystic fibrosis. That was one concern since he has had two pneumonia's in 6 weeks. We should have the rest back early next week. We are really struggling with moving Garrett to the new daycare. We really don't want him to go through another transition. On the good weeks we love where he is at. On the bad weeks we hate it. But I'm sure Garrett will like either place.

I have been trying to start digital scrapbooking. I created this collage. I hope to send something like this for his file in Korea.

Getting so big!

I have been slacking on Pictures lately. Here are few new ones.
