Aidan Loving His Legos!

He did it! He put together over 1,200 pieces to make Bag End and the Pirates of Umbar ship!  He even let me and mom help some.  I was really surprised when Aidan came to me and asked to have his picture taken.

Aidan's 10!

I can't believe our little, now very big, Aidan is in the double digits.10 years goes by way too fast to even begin to think about all the amazing things Aidan has done and been through.

That first year on his monitor. Him rolling around on our floor before he could walk. Eating pizza on his first birthday. I miss all the baby kisses and tickle fights, but love sitting down with Aidan and putting together 756 pieces of Legos LOTR Pirate Ship Ambush.

Family

Aidan's Perceptions

At least he didn't say anything bad about me and we need to talk about his family history...

Bedtime

8 turns into 8:30 pm.  Hey, The Goldbergs was kind of funny and Seery watched it with me.  8:30 turned into 9 after piggy back rides upstairs and brushing teeth.  Finally they are all in bed.  And more importantly they are staying in bed.  Liam won't go to bed without Ryan which is equally cute and annoying.  Ashlynne has to have two songs and a story and her sippy cup of water.  Although Seery gets in bed she is always the last one to fall asleep.  I'll go to close her door and she'll yell at me that she's awake.  Aidan, although he's 9, still likes me to read to him and turn out the lights for him.  Luckily, we're reading The Hobbit so it's more enjoyable than Goodnight Moon every night.

Blueberry Pancakes

Liam has been begging for blueberry pancakes for awhile now.  Needless to say he's very excited.

Ryan Mason's birthday!

Elise was induced July 15th at 39 weeks and 1 day.  We called at six am and were told to be in at 7:20 am at St. Marks. Luckily, we would be one of the first inductions. This time around Elise could have clear liquids prior to delivery which the nurses said they had pushed for. Thabk you nurses! It made her much more comfortable, or as comfortable as you can be when you're about to push out a ten pounder. It also made me a lot less self conscious about drinking all the hospital's free Coke.
