Slowly but surely, we’ve actually been having a fairly nice spring here in Wisconsin.  We even found a few days to sit out and have dinner on the back patio…G-Money in his short-sleeves, swimming trunks, and Sponge Bob camp chair seemed to provide a nice slice of life I’m glad we got captured.  Momma had him laughing hysterically at her antics.

It has been a very busy few couple of months for G-Unit and his parents…and we have a lot of updates to share in the coming weeks.  But for now, we’re excited that spring is here and we have a summer-ful of nice weather to look forward to (which in Wisconsin, translates into about 4 months).

For now, we’ll leave you with a supersized, contemplative G for your enjoyment.

The Saints may have been declared World Champions this year, but our beloved Green and Gold are going to be poised to make a run in 2010.  We’ve got one of the top young arms in the league in A-Rodge.  I can’t even remember who our old quarterback was.

And thanks great grandma and great grandpa for our new Packers hat and gloves!

A couple of weeks ago we placed our first order with Simply Canvas, an online print-to-canvas retailer.  We ordered a photo of G Money bathing in grandma’s whiskey barrel up in Three Lakes from earlier this fall.  I’m incredibly happy with how our 20″ x 24″ gallery-wrapped stretched canvas turned out.  The people over at Simply Canvas were incredible to work with, and the quality of their product is top-notch.  If you’re a professional photographer and are looking for a canvas supplier, check them out:  www.simplycanvas.com.

I can’t figure out if our house reminds me more of the circus or the zoo.  Either way, we definitely have a monkey running the place!

A couple of weekends ago we finally got around to hanging the swing in the tree in our front yard.  G-Man has suddenly become very fond of getting pushed in it.  And the higher he gets pushed, the better.  I swear, the kid has no fear.  We’d call him Evil Knievel if he weren’t so darn cute.

We’ve been taking a lot of head and shoulder portraits lately, trying to get a good one for babytalk.com / Good Morning America’s cutest baby photo contest.  This isn’t the one we submitted, but it is the most recent.  When G-man smiles this big, you can see all 7 of his teeth.

Happy 3/4 birthday buddy boy!  Before I met your momma, I didn’t know a 3/4 birthday was a celebratory occasion, but now I know it is

We tried taking some sun flare shots tonight.  I definitely still need some practice, but we never throw away shots where G-man is looking at the camera and flashing his brilliant smile.

Why does daddy’s idea of bathtime center around activities not involving bathing?  Quite simply, it’s because one of the most important lessons a father must bestow upon his son is the art of the shampoo mohawk.

I first looked at this photo and couldn’t believe how old our boy looks.  Only 8 months old and already he’s growing up too fast.
