Mr. Chubbs and A Fond Farewell To A Dear Friend

Well, you know what today is...well probably not, but it is Monday and Monday means "weigh-in" for baby Gavin at the hospital. Today was a big one, he weighed in at a whopping 8lbs, up 10 ounces from last week!!! We have certainly had a time with this guy and his weight, but today, one day after his actual due date, he is over 8 pounds and I couldn't be happier...Garth Lee on the other hand, is having a rough one...

Nemo died. Nemo is his fish that lives at my parents' house. Nemo was bought to replace Roger and that is a whole other story, but it ends about the same. My dad made a little headstone for Nemo and placed it in the back yard. I will get a picture and post it soon, it was really sweet of him and it made Garth Lee feel better that Nemo will not be forgotten. Garth Lee was able to draw a memorial for Nemo's grave, albeit through a river of tears. He was audibly crying for at least an hour, then for a few more hours would burst into random sobs here and there and would just say he was trying to stop crying but he couldn't stop thinking about Nemo. I am so blessed to have a son with such a sensitive spirit, he is so sweet...a lot like his daddy, but I'll never tell ;)
