We got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, took a photo, and made it to the first day of school on time.  And most importantly, we didn’t have to change any clothes because of spit up.  Overall it was a resounding success.

Relaxing yesterday morning on mommy and daddy’s bed.

Mini C had his 2 week doctor appointment today and has gained nearly 2 pounds since leaving the hospital!  We knew he loved to eat, but we didn’t know how quickly he could pack on the pounds.  He’s well on his way to becoming starting linebacker for UW.

Here’s one from his week-old portrait session.

Looking through the archives I found these gardening pictures from back in May.  The G-Man cultivated an awesome garden this year, complete with corn, broccoli, pickles, peas, zucchini, tomatoes, and peppers.  We’re already planning the garden layout for next year, including our 275 gallon rainwater watering system.  Next year’s growing season can’t get here fast enough.  If only there were vegetables we could grow in the snow.

The good thing about being 6 months behind in blogging photos of our boy…his April clothes look a lot like his October clothes.  The bad thing…he barely looks like this anymore.  Here he is a few weeks after we set up his new playset in the backyard.

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!
