Weighing in at 8 lbs and 14 ounces, and "standing" 21 inches tall, George William Finch Gulde made his debut today, July 30, 2006! We are so happy for Matt, Sally, Francie and Scoutie dog. We want to meet this guy in person! He is a super addition to the Gulde family and looks as if he may even have that Gulde chin! Cousin David thinks he is "good", and calls him "Geowge". We call him, wonderful! Welcome, George William Finch Gulde. We love you.
Uncle Matt, Aunt Jennie, David, Herbie dog, Molly Dog, and even Morris kitty.

Museum of Natural History
We have been going to one Smithsonian Museum every weekend that we can. Our goal is to thoroughly see each and every one. Here are a few pictures of our trip to the museum of natural history. David liked all the bugs! We cooled off by running through the sprinklers by the Washington Monument! Each trip, David gets to ride the carousel in the park! David has the best views! Dad carries him around in the backpack!
A few more pictures from our visit with Pop Pop
Here are a few more pictures of our visit with Pop Pop. David sure liked the big pool and the trip to Grandfather mountain. He especially liked the bears !
Sesame Place ! ELMO !!
We traveled to Langhorne, PA to Sesame Place. We saw ELMO, Mr. Noodle, Big BIrd, and all the Sesame Street gang. David went on the slide, jumped and played and even had his picture made with ELMO ! It sure was hot, but lots of fun. We topped off the day with ice cream and a big nap, and then a trip in to Philadelphia for a cheese steak sandwich! WOW! What a great day!
Aunt Sarah, NYC and July 4th
We took a trip to NYC and spent a day with Aunt Sarah! David practiced his potty training and met the pigeon mommy in the window. It was hot, so he practiced "being free". We even followed Aunt Sarah to the ocean in Maryland and watched her draw! Thank you, Aunt Sarah, for a super duper fun time!

Really BAD Boo Boo
David got in a "fight" with and escalator at the mall. 27 stitches and 6 hours in the ER later........well, you get the picture. He was a trooper. The stitches were removed a week later. Yes, there will be a scar, but it will be something he can brag about to his football buddies and show off to the ladies..........:)

June 10, 2006 David Joseph is 2 years old.
June 10, 2006. Today, our precious boy turned 2 years old. Wow......what a busy two years. Because we had a big party in Georgia, we celebrated as a family. We went to the park and played on the slides and swings, then ended the day eating pizza and playing games at Chuck E. Cheese in Fairfax, VA. We had an Elmo candle for the pizza! What a great day! We love you, David, our big 2 year old.
David and Pop Pop
David now calls Grandpa Olson his "Pop Pop". We recently visited Pop Pop at his new home on Lake James! We went to Grandfather mountain and saw cool animals, we BBQ'd and David got his first lifejacket to go out on Pop Pop's new boat and go fishing for the first time!
Beautiful Smile
Here are a few pictures taken on our last few days in Newnan, GA. David is so silly! He loves to smile for the camera! David loves to ride in his wagon that Ma Ma gave him last year for his first birthday. We'll be taking more wagon rides in Fairfax, VA !
Big Boy Birthday Party
On May 6th, David celebrated (early) his 2nd birthday. The party was a month early since we were moving. Our dearest friends came to help us celebrate. We all had such a great time, sliding, bouncing, eating pizza, cake and cupcakes, and enjoying silly giggles and laughs. Thank you to each and every person that made David's 2nd birthday party a huge success! We love you all!

Georgia Aquarium
This past weekend, the Olson family finally went to the Georgia Aquarium! WOW! We had a great time!. David loved the otters and the penguins the best! ( We think Poppy would like the penguins too! Are there penguins in England?)
David kept saying, "Fish! Fish!", and "Oh look!". We thought the stingrays and the beluga whales were awesome too!
We recommend a visit to the aquarium if you are ever in Atlanta!
We finished the day with a late lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and went home for a long nap!
Hoppy Easter !
Matt and David went to St. Matthew's church in Tyrone with Kiki & Lauren. Of course, David's best friend, Margie, was there to help David on his very first Easter egg hunt! They had so much fun!. Unfortunately, Mommy was at work. But she got to see all the eggs & candy at home! Doesn't David look smashing in his searsucker outfit with matching hat? What a handsome boy!
Renaissance Festival
The Renaissance Festival is in Atlanta for a couple of months. Our friends, Kiki, Steve, Lauren, Margie, Anna, Jan and hubby, and kids Gabe and Noah, invited us out for a good time. Margie and Anna dressed up as fairies!. David liked the finger painting the best! He got to play on a jungle gym and he even rode a pony! It was very hot, so we put on lots of sunscreen and wore cool looking hats. What fun! David took a 3 hour nap after all the excitement!
American Adventures!
American Adventures is an amusement park in Atlanta for kids 10 yrs old & under. We went with David's best friend, Margie, her mom, Kiki, Kiki's sister and her kids. David had a great time even though he didn't feel good. David rode all the rides. His favorite was the giant slide! We don't have any pictures of that though, because Mom went down the slide too! Check out David's red little cheeks in some of the pictures. We found out later that day that he had a sinus infection and 2 ear infections! He still had fun! What a trooper!
Grandpa Dave and Grandma Judy
Here are a few pictures of Grandpa Dave and Grandma Judy as they were camping out at the lake!
Just a few ole pics we found
Here are a few pictures that we came across. These are from last spring. David was so little! He is with his Grandpa Dave in some of these pics. Herbie and Molly are lounging around as usual.

1 week after surgery, Ma Ma goes home
MaMa stayed for a week to help David get better. We don't know if we would have survived without her! She took David on a wagon ride, walked to the mailbox with him, rocked him, slept in a chair at the hospital, spoon fed ice to David, read him stories, helped him brush his teeth, and even bought him a new wooden puzzle that he LOVES. Ma Ma got David a new red and white outfit and he wore it as he helped her get ready to go home. He ate noodles on the way to the airport, and waved bye bye to Ma Ma at the airport. He kept yelling, "MA! MA !" as Ma Ma went through security. We sure hated to say bye ! Thanks MaMa!
Back to the hospital- The Rescue Crew!
David was very ill 3 days after surgery. We rushed him back to the ER at the hospital that Jennie works at. He was readmitted for 4 more days. He refused all fluids & food, had diarrhea, a fever & was severly dehydrated. He absulutely loves his best friend Margie and her mom, Kiki. We call them, The Rescue Crew. They brought all sorts of goodies for David. Margie was so generous and thoughtful, that she went through all of her crayons and toys and made a bag for David, knowing that she may not get those items back. Thank you Margie! The biggest hit was a snow cone machine! Kiki made snowcones and David finally ate!!! Yippee!!! It was downhill from there! Thanks to The Rescue Crew! We appreciate all the balloons, toys, snacks, encouragement, and yummy snow cones! You guys are awesome friends!!!!! We love you!
2 days after Tonsillectomy
Ma Ma (Grammie) came to visit. Thank goodness. She helped us check David out of the hospital the day after surgery. 2 days after surgery, we thought David was on the road to recovery. He walked with Ma Ma to the mailbox, and even went for a short wagon ride................But, the poor little guy just couldn't eat or drink, and kept running a fever. See more pictures of David going back into the hospital.
Let me check YOUR ears now!
Here are a couple of pictures of David prior to his tonsillectomy. He is practicing his audiology skills, by working with an otoscope. It is the device used to check your ears. He would much rather do the checking than be the patient!
