More Mickey

Gus ripped into some early Christmas gifts that we received in the mail from the Goin's (thank you!). As you can tell by the look on his face in the shot below, he was in shock that there is actually more Mickey merchandise out there, and now, it was HIS!


After that first round of gifts, Gus is feeling the Christmas spirit. Speaking of, we are all really looking forward to spending time with family and partaking in many of our favorite Christmas traditions.

Awards ceremony

Gus' gymnastic session came to a close this week. At the end of the last class, each kid received a certificate, a ribbon, and a round of applause. It was hilarious to see each 2 year old jump up when their name was called, and skip up to the front to accept their award.

A nephew on the horizon

We are thrilled to share these first few glimpses of our nephew. My brother, Josh, and his wife, Christy will be parents next May. They found out today that it's a boy. YAYWHO!

Cute feet, kid. So cute.

It's time for me to start washing and packing up Gus' little newborn outfits for the teeny and special baby V!

Tower power

Gus loves the lego blocks he received from his Aunt and Uncle Josh & Christy. He builds and builds and builds. Until he can barely reach.

Also, it's nice to have a quiet, non-battery operated toy in the house, especially since he loves to play with them for extended periods of time. I can handle crashing blocks.

He likes to rhyme quick

Gus recently began reciting the Itsy Bitsy Spider, super fast.





Incase you can't understand him, the lyrics are:

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.

Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain

And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
