A Visual Update

Garage Sale

WE DID IT! We hit our goal of $1000. Now that we have our emergency fund, we can start paying down our debt. We had a great time, and feel so blessed to have been able to do this.

Easter

The Family photo.
Our church sponsered a community outreach called Easter Eggstravaganza and Aidan had fun on the big bouncey slide.

Doing crafts with Mama.

Loving opening the eggs. We still hide eggs on a daily basis.

Aidan was sick for most of Easter, so we took things a little slow. On Easter day we had church all morning, then at night we went to our Financial Peace class at our pastors house. No one in the class wanted to miss a week for Easter, so we kept the class going. Just shows you how into this class everybody is. We had a great Easter despite the sickness, and enjoyed spending the day with good friends.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed---and gazed---but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth

Facebook Made Me Do It

So, as you are all aware, Facebook is ADDICTING. Instead of keeping family and friends up to date on the antics and adventures of my little man, I have selfishly been posting, updating my statuses (or is it statusi?) and sending flair to all my friends. I beg your forgiveness. That is not to say I have my selfishness under control, but I am making strides to do so.

Here is the past couple months in pictures.

Even the Parking Structure is an adventure when you're 2.

Riding the Rockets. He LOVED it!

My Plant

This plant blooms like once a year, so I thought I'd share it's beauty with you. I guess it's an early spring for this little guy.

Our Silly Boy

Some friends came over for dinner, and Aidan LOVES their teenage son, Christian. They were playing a game on the computer and laughing.


Wearing Daddy's shirt

I was in the other room and I thought Aidan was playing with his kitchen, but it was so quiet I thought I would see what was going on.

Silly Boy.

Our New President

Me: (Pointing at the TV during the Innagural Address) "Aidan, who is that?"

Aidan: "O' Mama!"

Aidan's 2nd Birthday

For Aidan's birthday we took him to a place called boston Alley. It is a local business that has gym equipment, a giant trampoline, rings you can swing on, a ball pit, and lots of crash mats for little ones to jump and crash on. We have taken Aidan to a couple of gym classes there before and were excited when we could have his birthday there. He loves it! And admittedly, I think it is pretty fum myself. So Aidan had about 11 little friends, including Chloe and Eliot and all there Moms and Dads come to celebrate with him. We had a great time.

Opening his present from Mommy and Daddy, 2 BIG tonka trucks.

You think he likes it?
Eating his lunch at the birthday party. We had Sun Chips, little sandwiches cut into fun shapes, fruit, juice box, bunnny crackers and cupcakes.

On the HIGH balance beam with Grandpa. It is about 4 Feet in the air.

Our BIG little boy. He's pretty excited about all the loot and all the friends that came to wish him a Happy Birthday. Thanks to all who made it so special.

The Prince Turns 2!

Aidan is a sweet little boy that loves to hug and asks for kisses all the time. He plays hard and sleeps when he wants and eats when he wants. He especcially likes to play with trucks and cars and asks to go on walks to the pond, even on cold days. He really loves his Mama and Daddy and still does not like being without them.

I could not imagine 2 years ago that I would love something so much and enjoy being with this little person so much. God is an amazing creator and organizer of the universe because he gave us this little boy that fits right into this family. What a creation he made when he knit this little man together.

Enjoy my little flashback:

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Worn out from a long morning, "Dub-a-Dub" lays down for a little nap. The kids thought this was a great time to plant some kisses on him.


Still bleary eyed from having just woken up, Aidan rides his new "ride".


His new kitchen. Now he can really help mama cook. Thanks Granny and Grandad Doyle and Grandma Lois!

Our sweet boy.
