Breakfast Tickle

Ready, Set, Go..

Sunshine

This was a wonderful first weekend of Spring. It was sunny yet cool and things were starting to bloom after a strangely cold, snowy winter in NC. Aaron didn't wait a minute to take off part of the Jeep top.

We layed on cushions on the front porch all morning eating breakfast, playing blocks, listening to music and I am sure watching Aaron sneak some early plants into our front beds. Spring in NC has always been wonderful but this one has been particularly stunning.

Always Be Prepared

Many of you know Gus is a big fan of Bear Grylls (Man vs. Wild). We got him this little safari vest complete with compass, lantern, bandana, net, magnifying glass. Only problem is he wants to wear it to school.....all of it.

Too much for daycare?

Our Hiding Place

New Year's Greetings, all! What have we been up to? Moving! Yes, during Christmas. Excellent idea! Actually it has been tiresome but a lot of fun as we have someone living in our old house (whew!) and so enjoying our new house. As is Gus as you can see.

It has been a pretty magical start so far. The first night we stayed there it snowed so it was fun to wake up to a new view covered in snow. The downside is that we are on a hill and it makes the driveway very slippery. So if you come visit, remember your mountain climbing gear. Can't wait to update you with more pics as the place becomes presentable.

Game Night

We have had the pleasure of many family visits lately. Love having space for the visitors now! Here is Aunt Sunnessa (Nessa as Gus says) teaching Gus the ways of Pente - a Schettler favorite!

Uncle Matthew (Maffyou), Nessa and Gus playing Life.

Creative Capes

Sorry for the blurry images. These were taken by Sunessa as we came up with clever ways to tie Gus' blankie in order to make her laugh while on the telephone. Also get to see a few shots of the new, messy kitchen.

Merry Christmas, Baby!

Fast forward 20 years to an article in Rolling Stone where he will thank his supportive parents for giving him his first guitar. At least he knows how to scream "Rock and Roll!!" Its a start.

But if that doesn't work out.....

There's always school, especially with a cool froggy backpack.
