We were lucky enough to get to meet our newest nephew this weekend! We went to Kansas City Friday and Saturday to see this little guy...
He was nameless for about a day because Michelle and Kendall waited to find out the gender of the baby and they didn't have a boy's name picked out. They decided on
Garrett Wayne Walker. Wayne is Randy's (Quentin's dad) middle name and also Jeremy's (Quentin's deceased brother) middle name. He was 18 inches and weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz, which is apparently quite small for a Walker baby! He's adorable and he likes to wrinkle up his face a lot...it's so cute! He has really long little fingers and toes. There's just nothing like snuggling up with a newborn. Michelle seems to be recovering well and she looks great! It was fun to meet him and see the rest of the family. Arlaine was there helping out so we got to celebrate Mother's Day with her a little early and we got to spend some time with Nick and Colton and the girls too. Cora could not get enough of holding Garrett...she just wanted to help whoever was holding him.
And since it was Mother's Day weekend, Kendall had the nice idea of the guys being in charge of dinner Saturday so we had ribs, pasta salad, potato salad, beans, chips and dip all followed by Kendall's homemade cheesecake. It was yummy and I enjoyed taking advantage of this Mother's Day gift despite the fact that I am not one :)

You're right--he's super cute!
I'm glad you and Colton can post faster then I, now I can just copy and paste your posts into mine:) thanks so much for coming up, it was fun! Of course you are a "mother" in every sense of the word, it's only a matter of time before you have a little one of your own to prove it!
