Hole in the Jeans (and Photos!)

In many posts I have shared milestones or even inchstones in Garrett's nine years to date, and I have another today! This week, Garrett achieved the very first hole in the knee of a pair of jeans! I say "achieved" because to Grouchy and me, it's just that, a monumental achievement! Most of us with typical kiddos rolled eyes or adjusted budgets when we saw "holy-jeans." It meant another trip to the store or turning them into play-clothes. But not our boy! We may wear these to CHURCH every Sunday until he outgrows them! We are that excited! To us, this means Garrett is finally being rough and tough enough to wear out fabric without outgrowing it first, even. I just had to share!

And then this happened...
We attempted to get a good photo for Christmas cards this year, and we had success, but meanwhile....

Godspeed,
