Grandpa and haircut

Mayes loved seeing Grandpa

Ears...
It came time to cut the mullet... he sat quite contentedly with his pops,sickle (as he would say)
Oh sweet, sweet boy.

(P.S. I know we haven't posted in a long while... we'll soon remedy this:)

The Man Chair

Mayes has been sick for the last couple of weeks and one of the things he has loved to do is sit in the "man chair", as it is described by Daddy.
He will sit and eat cherrios....
Or watch Sesame Street...
"Mom, I'm going to sit here for a while longer; do you have a problem with that?"

Mayes' new word is "hat"

In honor of Mayes' new word, we thought we would post these pics of him in Mommy's hat.

Snow Steps

What was forecasted as a light dusting in the DC area became a 5-inch fun-filled adventure. Here are some shots of our brief time in yesterday's snow storm!






I've got sunshine...

Dad Turns 30!




Yikes...that was painful to type! I've had 7 days to admit and gain familiarity with announcing that I'm 30 years old. While I'm not ashamed or feeling old by any means, it's just plain odd when the first digit of your age changes.

Anyway, here are a few pictures from last Saturday...a simply gorgeous day in the DC area. After sleeping in (people, we're talking 8 o'clock here), Mag, Mayes and I hitup a coffee shop, scarfed down a couple breakfast croissants, and took a hike along the Mt. Vernon trail. I'm convinced...there's no better way to celebrate life than to sleep in, eat well, drink plenty, play outside, and surround yourself with the people you love.

Happy Birthday, 2010!


While this is a bit old (Mayes' birthday picture from November 8, 2009), we found it only appropriate to usher in the newest year with a little celebration. Slow on the updates and few in the picture collections, the Johns' promise to make more of an effort to post, share, and inform all of our friends and family of the happenings in our lives in 2010. Stay tuned here for more pics, and be encouraged to follow Matt's few and far between blog thoughts at http://awayfromthewhiteboard.blogspot.com/ as the new year progresses!
