Big Bad Gus And The Family Blog

Since Gus was sick for V-day and didn’t go to school, he didn’t get to open his valentine’s with his friends.   So, we opened them at home earlier this week.  His favorite part was the stickers!  Oh, and the marshmallow bear that I let him eat.   I had already raided the bag and gotten most of [...]

Dear Dad,

We got together a few weeks ago with Conner and Toni.  Gus and Conner have ’school’ together and play together well!  Here we are on Conner’s playground!   Conner also celebrated his 2nd birthday last week……..Happy Birthday Conner!! 

Recently Gus and his BFF Mac went on a shopping trip.  They rode in style in a 1996 (my own estimate, sounded better than “really old”) Graco Duo Glider.   It’s like stadium seating for toddlers.   To our surprise, neither of them seemed to mind.  :)

First, Gus is finally recovered from his 2nd run of the stomach bug!  He has his appetite once again and is back to his old self.   Today was my first day out of the house in close to a week and it was a fun one.   A few friends and I went to Le Garage Sale (check [...]

Last Wednesday Kate and I took the boys to the Tucson Children’s Museum and had a little fun.   We got home, the boys took a nap (and Kate and I baked some really good cookies ).  After some afternoon playing (and more time for Gus in the Cozy Coupe) we baked some super fun pizza  and dinner [...]
