Happy Birthday Garret Carrot



There is a cute boy — Garret Carrot
He has genes from his great Grandpa Barrett
He loves to catch bugs
Frogs, centipedes and slugs
Would someone please get him a ferret?

(Go to Mike & Bri's blog page to see Garret's latest critter catch).

O.K., so I'm no poet, but I forgot to post something on Garret's actual birthday, since we celebrated two weeks early—is that a good enough excuse? Garret is such a fun grandson - he is full of life - full of it! (reminds me of a poem I wrote about his Daddy). He loves to sing rock songs, made-up songs, and Primary songs. He's a great dancer, gymnast, and rock climber, too. He is good to talk to us on the phone about his day or to say thanks, or to ask when we're coming to visit. He is very loving to us and gives great hugs . . . oh, maybe I could re-do the limerick:

There is a cute boy — Garret Carrot
who lives so far away I can't bear it!
Besides catching bugs
He gives great big hugs
He'll be an American Idol someday - I swear it!

Love you Garret!
