Our Family Just Got BIGGER!

On Friday, June 4th at 9:53 p.m. Gisele Meral Garrett was welcomed into this world by her parents, Justin and Tugce Garrett. This precious little girl weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces and was 19 inches long. Mommy and Gisele are doing great and if all continues well, they will hopefully be coming home tomorrow. Unfortunately, we won't be there to welcome them home and it just breaks our heart. However, we have our plane tickets booked and it will only be a few months longer before we get to see them all. I can't wait to hold this new little bundle of joy and introduce Kaden to his new Skype girlfriend. (Is it wrong that I am pimping out my son already?) Plus when we come to Milwaukee, we are bringing everything we own and Brett, my oldest nephew, so there might not be enough room for us all to stay at their house because right now, Gisele has some pretty special guests staying with her. Tugce's parents arrived from Turkey on Saturday just in time to meet their granddaughter.

Justin and Tugce have been great friends to Justin and I and just like a lot of our other friends, they are really part of our family. And we are so very excited for this new chapter of their lives and so blessed that we will get to be a part of Gisele's life and watch her grow up into a remarkable young lady. Congratulations to the new family, hold her tight while you still can, they get big quickly! Love you and miss you all so very much!!
