Chuck E Cheese

Our family went to Chuck E Cheese for David's actual birthday and had a blast. The kids loved it. Aidan kept touching his nose and Elizabeth gave him high fives. So much fun! We will have to go again for sure!

Our Buster Brown is 6 months old today! I can't believe that 6 months ago I gave birth to the most incredible little boy. The thing I can't get over is what a happy child he is. He is always smiling! I thank God everyday for my little boy and time has passed so quickly. It feels bittersweet because I am sad he is growing so quickly yet I can't wait to watch him continue.

We had a little party today for him and it was full of laughter and joy! The best was watching my dad hold him and dance to the twist. I can't wait to show Aidan the video when he is older.

Aidan has so many people who love him and I am so thankful for that! 

David's 31st Birthday!

Elizabeth had the most fun! I think she thought it was her birthday. Aidan had a great time too!

Elizabeth and Aidan

Since my mother has had her hip replacement surgery, we have been spending a lot of time at her house. Eva and I come over to help with certain things and that means Elizabeth and Aidan get to play lots together. It brings my mom so much joy to watch them together and I really think it cheers her up!

Its a boy!

We are so excited to announce that Ryan and Shauna are having a little boy! Ryan is Craig's oldest brother and him and Shauna are very special to us. They went to have a 3-D ultrasound and they were able to determine the gender. Shauna is 16 weeks! I have never seen Ryan so happy. It was so special to share that moment together as a family and I am overjoyed that Aidan will have another boy cousin. More pics of Shauna's growing belly to come!

It is so beautiful to watch the relationship between Aidan and his cousin Elizabeth. They both have this special connection as they are kindred spirits. Elizabeth is 18 months and she wants to always share her toys with Aidan and give him kisses. Today she actually held his hand! So special for Eva and I, as sisters, to watch this interaction between our children.

Last Day of Music Class

Today was also Aidan's last day of music class. It was a very big day! We have been in the best music class with cousin Elizabeth and it has been so much fun! 

The Beginning!

Thanks to my best friend Joni I am now a blogger! This beats facebook and myspace by far!

I guess I'll start with my big accomplishment today. 

My son Aidan has started eating solid foods for the first time. This was so special to watch for Craig and I. Aidan is almost 6 months and the love of our lives. Here is a pic of his first meal.
