A note from Grandma Gammon

Hi Otto! Grandma needs to apologize for not writing sooner but there has been a lot of things going on. Just know that I think about you each minute of the day and am consumed with love for you. Your Momma and Daddy have been trying to decide on your name but they won't share the final choices so for this week, I have decided your name will be Otto as I am pretty sure that is not one of the two names

After my last post, I went up to the University of Virginia to bring home a very special person in my life-Jake Barnes. He is the youngest son of Grandma's best friend from college, Kathy. He is pictured above with his father, Bob, and brothers Matt and Rob at his Eagle Scout Ceremony. The picture was taken in the special memorial garden for his Mother that he created at his church. Becoming an Eagle Scout is a high honor and I hope that you will interested in Scouts and aspire to become an Eagle Scout. Jake took off to the University of Virginia this year. He is enrolled in the engineering program, is a member of the band that plays at all of the home football games, and plays some great team frisbee. I am so very proud of all that he has accomplished!

Jake needed a ride home for Claire's (his niece, Rob and Katherine's daughter) 3rd birthday party and I enjoyed spending some time talking with him on our trip from Charlottesville to Richmond. Above is a picture Claire from the birthday weekend. We all had a great time at her party and had her favorite foods: pizza and cake. I am sure that pizza and cake will be some of your favorite foods also.

I love you my sweet baby boy
