Hi Mom-Mom,

I heard about a miracle on 34^th street in Hampden, so I went to check it out. The people who live there cover their houses in Christmas lights. I’ve never seen such a bright place. It was stunning.

Dear Mom-Mom,

This little Elf guy has been hanging around our house. I’m not sure what his deal is. I feel like he's always watching me. I’m keeping an eye on him too; an eye on him and an eye on our gumballs.

Hi Mom-Mom,

I thought I was seeing things last night when dad walked in the house with a big tree. He cut it down himself! They must have decided the house needed a new look. I like it. It’s bright and cheery.

Hi Mom-Mom,

We went to Kenilworth to see the trains with Grammy and Poppy today. I met some guy named Santa. I think he’s eaten a few too many Christmas cookies, but who can blame him. Nice guy.

I’m cruising now, Mom-Mom. I’ve found my sea legs, albeit at times I do resemble a drunken sailor.

Hi Mom-Mom,

You know what they say... when in Texas, do as the cowboys do. That's exactly what I did.

Hi Mom-Mom,

Mom and I went to Houston with Grammy and Grand Pop to celebrate cousin Kathi’s Fabulous 50^th birthday. I got to meet the Davis family. 

 And my cousin Spencer. 

And RB the horse. He was really happy to meet me. I was just the cowboy he’s been waiting for.

Mom-Mom, I like to dabble in a little dirt. Germs don’t scare me. One man's trash is another man's treasure!

I’m not afraid of a little bacteria. The toilet lid won’t stop me.

 

Safety locks are no match for me! Those chemicals under the sink don’t intimidate me.

I’ve got new territories to explore.

I crave adventure! Living on the edge is fun.

Happy Veterans Day Pop-Pop, Gramps, Poppy and Uncle John! Thanks for being brave and serving our country. 

Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Dave got me some cool Navy gear for my birthday! I’m wearing it today in honor of my Pop-Pop. Maybe I will get some Army gear in the future so Gramps, Poppy and Uncle John won't think I'm a total Navy guy. I am an Admiral so Navy fits. Either way, you all are my heroes and I hope to grow up and be as brave and courageous as you.  

Love, Garrett

Hi Mom-Mom, Anna is staying with us while Aunt Jo and Uncle Brian visit some windy city. It's pretty windy in Lutherville too. Especially when you swing as high as we do...

Hi Mom-Mom,

I know the difference between right and wrong. Sometimes it's just so hard to resist the urge. Especially when it comes to the dogs' water bowl. It's too tempting!

Hi Mom-Mom,

Clark's Elioak Farm is a magical place with colorful houses and superhero horses! Grammy, Gracie, Charlotte, Mom and I enjoyed a fun filled morning at Elioak on my birthday, thanks to Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Dave. We got to ride Captain Jack, the horse! We went on a hay ride and took a trip through the country side on the cow train. The cow coach Gracie and I rode in was named Miss Grace! We met some interesting characters along the way including an egg named Humpty Dumpty and Papa Bear. Goldilocks was nowhere to be found.

Hi Mom-Mom,

Megan, Grammy, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Bonnie, Aunt Linda and Mama spent the morning racing around Hunt Valley trying to find a cure.  When they finished racing Dad and I met the ladies for lunch. I’m not sure if they found the cure they were looking for but they sure built up an appetite trying.
