Big Bad Gus And The Family Blog

Seattle was a great time!  Now I need to remember all the cool stuff we did and post some pics!  Soooooon, I promise! 

We got into Seattle yesterday at around 10:30 and Day 1 was super fun.  We took the bus into downtown and met Laura (Cat) at her office.  We went down to the market and had a yummy lunch at this cheese place called Beechers.   Everything is homemade.  :)  Then we went to The Triple Door [...]

These pics aren’t really that good, but I wanted to share a few recipes that I made tonight for din din.   I made some of this baked ravioli…and to go with that I used the CSA eggplant, bell pepper and onion for this dip.   Then I made some rosemary potatoes in the microwave (also from [...]

We headed to Zilker this morning with our coolio friends Mila and Mandy.  On a whim, we decided to ride the Zephyr and Gus LOVED it!  25 minutes of constant smiling and wow-ing…..sign me up!!   Here we are right before we took off on our ride.  :)   

You guessed it.  On Monday we hung out with Conner.  We went over to Olympic Hills and then went to BK for some burgers and more playtime.  As always, a very fun time was had by all!!  Here are G and Conner with their crowns.  

We found a new favorite park!   It is right near us in a new neighborhood…it has lots of trees and shade and a perfect pre-schooler playscape.   On Sunday, Gus and I took daddy.   Doesn’t G look so long and big in these pics?  

Within the last few days, Charlie sent me this video.   It made me chuckle AND really think.  It’s about 10mins long, so be ready.

As a parent, I am sure we all second guess ourselves.   We all resist the urge to ‘hyper-parent’….some of us better than others.  We all want our kids to be [...]

I got an email from Bridget, my Bradley Instructor, yesterday.   She could meet today and I have been waiting patiently to pick her brain about all things Bradley.  We met at a local park and our friends Eilish and Garnet came too!   It was a fun morning….Gus explored every inch of the park including the [...]

I’ve only told a few of you, but I recently applied to become a Bradley instructor!  Today I found out my application has been accepted and I am going to attend teacher workshop in Dallas in November…and then 9 months of provisional training!   I am sooo very excited!  I am sure you saw it coming!!!    :)

We start out with some singing and crafts…..then onto the park and then lunch with Ms. Cheryl!  Yay!  :)
