G and J Life!

Please visit us at gandjlife.blogspot.com for a glimpse into the lives of Gary and Joey!

From the Archive!

A couple of final photos before Gary became a big brother!

Bedtime stories with Mommy!

Del Ray First Thursday - hanging on the fire truck!

Welcome to the Family, Joey!

Gary has a new little sister! Joey is almost two weeks old, and we are already convinced that she is an absolute sweetie. Pictures coming soon! 

Big Boy Bed!

Gary graduated to a big boy bed last night.  Mommy and daddy picked out the bed, sheets, and quilt.  Gary picked out a special pillow!

So excited that he wasn't letting
mommy and daddy make the bed!

The finished product

Snuggling with daddy (and pillow)!

 

Maymont Field Trip!

The weather was great, so we took a quick trip to visit Richmond this weekend!  After brunch with Uncle Matt, Aunt Shannon, Cole, and Grandma, we took a stroll through the Children's Farm at Maymont Park!

"What do you mean, no dinosaurs?"

"Let me out!"  (In?)

Communing with goats.

A photo attempt that was
a good idea in theory.

Letting Uncle Matt chase Gary up the hill.

Rock and Roll

Gary enjoyed listening to daddy's band practicing in the basement last night (at least for a little while).  He hasn't decided whether he wants to be a singer, guitarist, or drummer--or a solo artist!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Last week, Gary and his classmates celebrated Dr. Suess's birthday.  On Friday, they made cake and wore special hats and crazy socks for the birthday party.  Gary enjoyed playing the part of Thing 1!

 

Adventures in Potty Training!

Potty training is an adventure in many different ways.  Thus far, I think my favorite part has been little dawg's insistence on sitting on the commode backwards (a practice sometimes referred to as slatering).

Backwards? Says you!

Auto-Awesome is Pretty Awesome!

So, it turns out that Google's Auto-Awesome feature is, in fact, legitimately awesome.  Some exhibits in favor:

Breakfast at McD's!

Nom nomming fingers with mommy!

Korean BBQ!

Hiding in the toy chest!

Daddy eating my head is funny!

Little Drummer Boy

Happy Thanksgiving!

Goofy G

Someone found a new use for crayons today.

He also discovered sugar cones!

 

Dinos!

I think someone is going to get to go to the Museum of Natural History once mommy gets home.

 

Favorite Food

Here is a picture from a little over a week ago.  Gary loves beans!  (Both to eat and to make a mess.)

Mommy is away on a work trip for a week, but she is sure that the dudes can hold down the fort.  She will try to post pictures from someone's second birthday when she returns. . . .

Happy Fourth of July!

We spent a nice Independence Day weekend in Virginia Beach.  Here are some photos of Gary at the beach (plus one from afterward).

 

 

From the Archives: Memorial Day

We had a very nice weekend, enjoying the nice weather.  Gary was feeling a bit covetous, however.

New Kicks

Gary insisted on wearing his new shoes after bath!
