Garrett Smith Bordelon ... and a little bit of Clare

Garrett Smith Bordelon arrived Monday morning September 23, 2013.  I got to be in Alexandria a few days before he arrived and a few days after.  It is never long enough, but I did get to have a lot of fun with Clare while I was there.  Clare is a child with a great imagination and it is fun to see the way she thinks.  She was on a winter kick while I was there and dressed up in winter clothes consisting of two winter hats, mittens, a fluffy pink skirt, striped tights and snow boots.  After she was dressed she would announce to all "Winter's coming."

Here are a few more Clare pictures

Here are Sarah and Clare at the park the day before Garrett was born or Sarah's last day of pregnancy.

And here is little Garrett through the nursery windows just a few hours after birth, relaxed and enjoying life.

He likes to stretch out.  Here he is at home, still relaxed and happy, sleeping through a diaper change.

And he is welcomed by family members.

And the Bordelon Family through a smudged lens.

Welcome Garrett.  You have come to a wonderful family.  We are so glad you finally arrived.
