Garza's have a new roommate

We have another man living with us now. His name is Mr. Luigi. Doesn't he have a great mustache? Everyone at Costco thinks so. His brother Mr. Mario comes to visit often too (and baby Mario). The only problem is they just want to sit on the couch and play gameboy all day.

Not too worried about Autism with Jared.

This week it was so funny when Jacob said, "Smell my hair". I smelled it and he said, "It stinks!" I said, "a little bit". He said, "Big it!" It's so great hearing him talk. I'm so thankful. I've been watching Jared carefully. He is very social and is trying to say words. They always ask if the child is imitating when looking for autism. Autistic children usually do not try to imitate. Check this out.

Here's what's new.

We've been busy with school, snow and life.

Josh is playing basketball again on Saturdays. Church is 9 am on Sundays. There's no more sleeping in.

This is so funny! Jared is such a funny guy.

Joanna & Jacob having a great time.

Merry Christmas! God Jul!

Hope you are having a great Christmas. We have a white one. It's freezing out there, but we've just been cozy here at home. Our neighbor, and friend, Mari came over for dinner. We have Lance visiting from Virginia for 10 days. It's fun having him here.

Here's Josh and what he wished for for Christmas - Speed Stacker Cups.

Joanna is helping us remember what Christmas is all about.

We love you!

Jared

Here's Jared and Joanna.
