Introducing....the newest member of the Garrett family....Alexis Imogene! Yes, three girls! What could be more exciting? Lexy came into our lives on May 16th. We went to the social services building to pick her up and loved her from the moment we saw her. She looked similar to Lily, but different too. She is much more like her birth Dad and Lily looks like her birth Mom. She had long fingers and toes and was already so tall. The birth parents named her Nazarene Rose Glaim but we simply could not call her Nazarene. So Matt and I spent hours that night after the girls went to bed--looking at her and tossing out names. The one the fit was Alexis--but we most often call her Lexy. We named Lily after Matt's Grandma, Ruth Elizabeth and decided to name Lexy after my Grandma Jean (full name--Imogene). She was an amazing woman and Lexy should be so proud to be named after her!
Here are some first pictures of all three girls.
Before we picked up Lexy, Abby had her final day of preschool at a Bug Museum/store. They saw all kinds of fun bugs and Lily started crawling up stairs for the first time! Abby loved the Peanut Butter and Jelly Kids Preschool so much.
May 16th--what a day....roaches, tarantulas, butterflies and a new sister!
