a gus hug can be overwhelming

gus & luke

a serious tuesday for gus

gus | 2010

holidays at the hen house

finding a new window

gus meeting the scene stealer

gus & maura

foot of a future marathoner

introducing the newest little lady cousin
to the hen house:

miss maura patricia

although it is believed that she might be a future sprinter instead because of her speedy entrance into the world

unsure about the bow tie & suspender fashion statement

lazy day at the office

g on a weekend

polishing off the world's smallest chocolate sundae at the nitty gritty

equivalent to a tablespoon of ice cream but I don't think he noticed

so long to hen house #2

where we lived when we brought gus home from the hospital to meet maddie | where we lived when maddie the hunter caught her first mouse | where we lived during the record breaking 100 inch snow season | where we lived when our roof needed to be fixed after the record breaking 100 inch snow season | where we lived when we learned of gus's love of trucks, especially on garbage pickup day |where we lived that had a green picket fence that always looked like it was going to fall over but never did | where we lived when gus learned to walk and learned the art of falling dramatically | where we lived when gus learned to take off his own dirty diaper and smear it all over his crib | where we lived when we learned that the smell of a gas leak and the smell of a decomposing bat are two very different smells | where we lived when gus found a love of watching the lawn mower and would run to the windows when he heard a mower start up in the neighborhood | where we lived when maddie met her first golden retriever boyfriend and stalked him daily | where we lived when gus would practice walking on the sidewalks and wave to the morning commuters | where we lived when we first heard gus laugh | where we lived when we sat on the stoop to wait to welcome the hen home from work | where we lived when we found out baby #2 was on the way and we needed to think about relocating the hen house
