 A Little bit about how GAD came about...

I started making diapers for my oldest son when he was 10 months. They were not pretty, but they got the job done well enough that I knew with some better materials, they would really work. I got my first Purchase of microfleece, windpro and PUL and got an amazing amount of 13 diapers out of the PUL and Microfleece. These were not pretty either, but they worked! Then I bought a snap press and really started having fun. I loved the cloth diapers, but I hated the way the Velcro scratched his belly, made a diaper snake in the wash and snagged on everything. Once I had the press I started making diapers for friends and selling them too. I was very proud of these diapers, but now I look back and they were still ugly! lol. I made some MAJOR changes to the design with the help of my good friend Mandy. She is one of those great people who can be brutally honest and because of her wonderful constructive criticism GAD was born. Only a few minor changes have been made to the diaper since my web store opened back in May, 2004. The larges got smaller rear ends in January of 2005 (eliminating "Butt Flare") and the mediums & Smalls got smaller wings which gave them more leg room. We also added a new size in 2006, the medium long, it's just great for those tall skinny babies. I also had a baby in December of 2004, so 2005 was a busy year!

August 2006, This is our recent trip to Fort Bragg, Kevin Loved the starfish and Crabs and Andrew loved throwing rocks into the ocean.

September 2006...

It's September 15th and I just set up a bunk bed for my kids, I can't believe my babies are in bunk beds!!They are both sleeping and seem to be really happy about the new beds, after the new comforters and sheets come and the room is set up I will put a picture up.

 

 

 

September 26th..

Kevin went to his first day of Pre-School. Day 1 and 2 were easy, days 3 and 4 were hard! On the 3rd and 4th day he figured out that this was a routine and he wasn't so sure about me leaving him there. But at about the middle of week 2, he loved it and was fine when I left. Yay!  Andrew misses his brother, but I think he likes his time alone with Mom and Dad. This also gives me a little more time to sew in the mornings.

 

October

 

We had a little Family Reunion in Palm Desert. It was a 12 hour car ride, be we mostly drove at night so the boys were fine. DH was on a yearly backpacking trip with a buddy, so I drove down with my very special Sister, I don't think I could have done it without her! She is such an awesome Auntie and the boys just love her to pieces.

Here is the whole family on my Dads side From Top left:

Grandpa, Aunt Linda, My Dad

Grandma, Freddy (my Dad's Girlfriend)

It was really great seeing everyone again and the weather was so nice! Not too hot and just hot enough to have fun in the pool!

Here are the Boys and I in my Dad's Backyard.
