Leslie, We have missed your late night messages that you use to leave on the voice mail at Loving Hearts. We hope that you are all doing very well. We are having our fall festival at Loving Hearts soon and was wondering (if my mind serves me correctly)where you were able to get all those little pumpkins for us last year. We are in need of more this year and was wondering if you could still hook us up even from D.C.
Take Care and We miss ya!

-Bob, Tammy, Richard and JasonLeslie, How wonderful to hear from you! Email me at mollygeil@msn.com. Garrett is so cute, and your mom...with him on the front page...oh my gosh. Girl we could be training partners. I just got my first road bike when we moved to Reno. You like Boulder, you would love Reno/Tahoe. We love the lake and the skiing...so close. I have a baby Elizabeth who is 2...looks like Garrett's age...wow. Tell Matt hi...please do write. You look and sound amazing. I think of you often and am so glad to hear from you. Love, Molly -Molly GeilMat & Leslie,
What an an adorable little boy you have. I am so glad we got the chance to catch up a little bit. Isn't parenting amazing?! How fast they grow! I'll keep checking out this site...I had to go through all 1600+ pictures this morning. He is so adorable and definitely has Leslie's eyes. Can't wait to see more of Garrett growing up.
Keep in touch.
-Jennifer Paulus-NewcombMerry Christmas, Garrett! I hope Santa brings you lots of presents! -Your friend, KaylieHappy 2nd Birthday Garrett!! -The Killian'sHappy Birthday, Garrett! Hope you have lots of fun on your special day! -Jamey, Julia & KaylieLeslie & Matt
We all miss being in Lincoln and wish we could be there in person to see how Garrett is growning up. He is as cute as a bug in a rug as the saying goes. See how time flies once you have children? It has already been 2 years and it seems like yesterday! Happy Birthday Garrett!
Take Care. We miss you all.
Karen, Paige, Mariah, and Miguel -KarenMatt and Leslie,
It has been fun to see the pictures of Garrett and to see all the things he does. He is getting so big. I show Clayton and he is amazed at the little boy on the screen. Hope all is well with you guys. I haven't talked to you in so long but I keep updated by looking at the website. If you have chance our website is www.babyhomepages.net/claytonjames Again I hope all is well and Garrett is adorable.
-Trevor & Amber Killian Clayton and AllysonCongratulations, Matt! No more tests...no more papers...no more studying...woo hoo!!!! -Jamey, Julia & KaylieLove the pictures!!! He looks so cool in the bono blue sunglasses!!! -Aunt DebMatt and Les, It's sure fun to see Garrett grow up. He's just so darn cute! Do Tom and Kim have a site? - Kati YoungGarrett,
You are an absolutely handsome fellow -- and we love looking at all the pictures of you on your website!
It is so hard to believe that you are 18 months old... you are growing up so quickly! We miss seeing your sweet face, hearing your new words and seeing you in your daily adventures!
We love you so very, very much -- and hope to see you soon!
Hugs to you, your Mom and your Dad!
Love Always and in All Ways, - Grandma JanHi guys...I love watching all of Garrett's adventures! Leslie...send me your current e-mail address...I tried to drop you a note but it came back to me as undeliverable (apparantly I have an old address). Take care! - JuliaChristmas was such a fun time this year! Garrett was SO cute running around in his reindeer slippers and Santa hat. We made the mistake of giving him his new tricycle first - so when he tried to open gifts while sitting on it, he took a couple of headers - but he got right back on, and took off again! He seemed to love all of his new things, and loved everybody that day - and we certainly love Garrett every day! He is such a sweetheart, and smart as a whip! (Where did that expression come from anyway? How could a whip be smart?!). Except for Dad having to go off to work, he and Mom seemed to have a good time, watching and being with their favorite little guy too! Can't wait til next year! - Grandpa and Grandma W.Hi Leslie,Matt What a neat website to keep everyone up to date on "The Life and Times of Garrett". Your dad and Jan were here to visit in PA in Sept. They tuned us into your website. Hope you can convince Mark and new wife Deirdre to think about expanding their family. Of course that is hard to do with him in Kuwait and her in Texas. That is the Army for you. Mark enjoyed visiting with you at your dads in CO. Hope you cousins can get to know each other and keep in touch. Family means everything.
Hope to see you and your family in the future.
Fondly,
Carole in PA. - Carole & Robert TaylorA 10-hour road trip?!?!? WOW...you guys are brave! But it looks like you survived and had a good time! Glad you had fun. Now that Garrett's had his first Happy Meal will he ever want to eat anything else again? Jamey was a McDonalds addict as a child...he always ordered his hamburgers with no "teeth" (onions)! Talk soon... - JuliaHey Sis! I am so thrilled that you and Matt decided to bring Garrett to Loving hearts. I am truly blessed because I get to see him every day. With Peyton (& sometimes her entire preschool class). I absolutly love all the photos. What a special baby. Enjoy EVERY minute they grow up way to fast. Love Aunt Deb - Aunt DebAug.19,'05 - Our 'baby'pulls himself up on everything, loves to walk with assistance, and stands for long periods by himself - so it won't be long before he takes that first step by himself! Then look out world! At least, look out Mom & Dad! He remains such a sweetheart. That smile would melt the iciest of the icy! I love your kisses Garrett. Grandpa & I love you so much - Mom and Dad too! - Grandma & Grandpa W.WOW...one year already!!!??? How time flies! Rowan would love to meet Garrett...can't believe we've let a year go by and set no play dates!!!
We love checking out the site...Rowan points to Garrett and says "bebe and mmmmmmmmmma!" So I guess he's giving "the baby" a kiss.
Miss you! - Barbie, Turk & RowanLeslie and Matt,
What a joyful way to see how Garrett is growing!
He is absolutely darling -- a grandson to be very, very proud of. We are looking forward to seeing him again soon...
Thank you for sharing all these wonderful pictures. - JanThis website is so cute. I can't believe how big Garrett is getting!! He has the best eyes. Thanks for including me! - Katie ChristensenHi Leslie & Matt...
I am finally able to pull up your website. My security settings kept me from being able to view Garrett's pictures until today.
He is a cutie! I really enjoyed reading your journal. It helps one understand the stress of having a family, a newborn no less, when Daddy is gone. Matt, I am so proud of you and thank you for all that you (& Leslie) have sacrificed for us.
I have enjoyed the Christmas cards you've sent thru the years.

- Rita SchrinerHi guys! Garrett is such a handsome little guy! We check your website almost every day to see how he is growing and what he's into. We sure hope he and Kaylie will get to meet soon...I'm sure they would have lots of fun together! Take care and keep in touch... - Jamey, Julia & KaylieLeslie & Matt,
Garrett is so cute!!! He is such a happy baby. We think of you often, enjoy that little boy.
Trevor & Amber Killian -Matt & Les, We can't believe Garrett is 7 mo's already! Time goes by so quickly! Looking at his Grandpa Thompson, it's easy to see where mommy and Garrett get those 'chocolate' eyes! But I think he might have inherited those eyelashes from Uncle Caleb...? What beautiful cheeks!(Mommy?) Eyes! Mouth! Little red eyebrows!(Daddy?) Sound a bit like a biased grandma & Grandpa, don't we? But it's true!! He is beautiful!
Soon he will be Walking along the couch, Sitting up ALL by himself, Talking ALL the time, sleeping all night (you will see!), getting into everything. Just so he keeps smiling that beautiful smile! We love you all so much, - Mom & Dad
We are so glad you shared this website with us. We enjoy watching your little guy grow. We shared Garrett's website with Tim and Dan and we all agree, Garrett is SO CUTE! Our granddaughter was born 2-18-05 (Karisa) making J.R. (Jay Richard) a big brother at age 22 months. They are such fun. Thanks again for sharing! We look forward to more pictures.
- Jay & Linda Hendrickson
I think I can clearly see both of you in that adorable little face! What a good mix! :)
- Barbie
Leslie,
Garrett is getting more adorable everyday. I hope you two are doing well. I bet you both are excited about Matt coming home soon. Stay in touch and know that I am thinking about you both. - Amber Killian and Clayton too!
Matt and Leslie, everyone tells me that Garrett would make a perfect Anne Geddes model! What flower or vegetable do you think? A tomato? A pumpkin? How about a sunflower? He is our perfect little angel!
Garrett gets to hear daddy's voice on the speaker phone, but has to be waiting for daddy to come home, so he can re-familiarize himself with his touch, his arms, his face, his smile, and his love. I know that mommy can hardly wait til daddy gets home either! Love you all! - Grandma and Grandpa W.
