Aidan in the pumpkin patch

We had some fun this weekend and picked pumpkins at Grandpa Rob's farm. I love trying different shots with the camera. Although Aidan looked upset he still had a good time. The sun was in his eyes. He is my little pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.

"Hippy Kid"

Here is a new picture of Aidan and his cool dude sunglasses!

Ethan's 1st Day

I am writing this at 10:45 am and I have to pick Ethan up at 11:30 from his 1st day of Pre-School. He was a little nervous this morning and didn't really want to eat breakfast. He was excited about going but was hoping that I would stand out in the coat room and wait for him there. He cried when I told him good-bye and Ms. Colleen and Mr. Phil tried to make him feel ok. It seemed like the boys were a little more scared than the girls. He will have fun and I hope that he makes friends and that I have taught him to be polite and how to behave. People have told me that kids always behave better when the parents are not around, but I still get nervous. Mommy also cried on the way home from dropping him off today. I can't believe that he is that big already, he is such a joy to have. I miss him already, it is way to quite in this house. Aidan likes to nap in the morning. I will let you know how he does later. But enjoy the pictures i took this morning. He got his haircut yesterday and the lady did a buzz cut after Ethan told her that he wanted her to do a spike one.

New Family Picture

I know that it has been awhile, but I wanted to share a couple of pictures that we took this weekend. The boys looked so grown up. We are all doing well. The boys are playing well together and love each other so much. I know that it won't last.

New Years Pic

I wanted to take a minute to show a new picture that our friend took of Aidan, on New Years Day. He is doing so good. He is army crawling around and I think he is trying to pull himself up to things. He likes to get into things that he shouldn't, like electric cords and brothers toys. We can hardly believe that he will be a year old next month. He is weighing over 18 pounds and is over 26 inches long. And he is so cute.

A visit from Santa

Tonight we went to Kristin's house for a Christmas party. She had invited Santa to surprise the kids. Aidan was not to sure about him, but Ethan thought that he had brought him a vacuum. That is all that he asked Santa for tonight, well he did say a lawnmower too. Santa thought he would take him to the North Pole with him so that he could do some cleaning up there. Ethan was thrilled cause Santa had him do a special job and hold his glove while he read the kids a story. We all got to sit on Santa's lap. Even Papa Rob sat on his lap. We all had a great time.

What's been going on

Yesterday Aidan had his first of six shots to help prevent RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus). It will help prevent the bronchitis or pneumonia. It is kind of a like a flu shot, but the shot wears off every 28 to 30 days. So a visiting nurse comes to the house to give him the shot. When she was here yesterday he weighed 15# 10 oz. What a chunky monkey. He has little rolls on the back of his legs.

Tonight we are taking Ethan to his first movie at a theater. We are going to see "Bee Movie." We thought we would go to a smaller theater and then work our way up to a bigger one. I know he wants to see the movie, but he is still unsure what a theater is like. I'm sure he will love it. Nana LouAnn is going to watch Aidan and Ethan has asked that she watch his "babies" (his stuffed dog and duck) too. He was concerned that they would be all alone and he wanted her to know that they eat at 8:30. So I will have to let you know what happens at the movies and how many times he wants to run out for more popcorn and candy.
