Big Bad Gus And The Family Blog

 My friend Katie, her daughter Meg, Gus and I had dinner on Monday night before we left La.   It was a good time just hanging out, catching up, eating and watching the kids.  They sure are funny!!  Here are some pics. 

Thanks to Trisha for having us over!  The kids got to hang out and swim!  We also got to see her awesome house again! Kayla made some homemade chocolate ice cream that was a perfect cap on a hot LA day.  :)

While in Louisiana, we took a trip to visit my great aunt Lucille.   She and Mema had a good time playing around with Gus and visiting with one another.   Here are a few pics. 

Below is my Aunt Lucille, cousin Vicky (standing) and Mema.

Thanks to grandma and grandpa for the newest toy.  A garage sale Little Tikes slide and play squarey-thing.  :)   As you can see Gus likes it.   He really likes to climb up the slide.  :)

These speak for themselves. :) 

Well, I think we have things all figured out.   We have Gus enrolled in ‘Mother’s Day out’ at the Baptist Church near us.  He will go on Tues and Thurs from 9ish to 2ish.   He will be a Caterpiller!  :)   I think it is time for him to make friends and go to a school [...]

Okay, so this Tuesday is a Tuesday of many changes.  Gus is feeling mucho bettero, so thanks for the well wishes!  It’s about time….a full week!  We think the molar is in, but we haven’t actually been able to get a finger into the mouth to confirm.   All attempts have been met with tightly closed [...]

So, since Tuesday Gus has been one big cranky mess.    I think the teeth throw all his systems off.  He has a low grade fever, poops all the time, won’t eat hardly anything (even his favorites), wakes up at unusual times, and is so very whiny.   I think he and Cheryl are taking a short [...]
