Aidan Lockin It Up

Unless you've seen Wedding Crashers and remember the little argument that Vince and Owen had at the lake house before breakfast you might not think this is quite as funny as we do.  If you are in that group I suggest you go right now and watch that movie then come back and laugh at this. It's our favorite.
P.S. The end of the video plays a small tribute to Ron Burgundy.. Anchorman.. as well. Enjoy!

Perfect weekend in Plainsboro

A few weeks ago, Aidan and Carrie went to Plainsboro, NJ (Kevin was in Philly for work) to visit Alli and Amanda and see their new home. We had a wonderful time, and are so excited for them to start the next phase of their lives in such a perfect suburb. Here are some highlights from our trip...

There is a great playground just 2 blocks down the street from their house. Aidan had a blast playing there with his Aunts. He especially liked "helping" Alli get down from the slide, etc.

Awww

I'll catch you, Alli!

So dirty and having so much fun

How many aunts does it take to get Aidan up this ladder??

There is an awesome orchard about 15 minutes away in Princeton. We had a great time there petting the animals, picking the berries, and eating lots of great farm market finds!

My turn, Mandy! I do it!

Feeling the big goat's horns with Mommy

This goose subsequently bit his finger!

Look how big...

Tractor race!

Yummy blackberries

Beautiful day, beautiful scenery, beautiful boy

Thank you for a great visit, girls! Can't wait to come back soon!

Mommy and Her Big Boy

I am the luckiest.

Aidan Thomas is my son, and he brings me more joy and happiness than I have ever known. As my Pappy Lucey always said.. "He is my sweetie pie- apple dumpling of my eye."

Here are some special moments we've shared lately, just me and him...

Aidan helped Daddy wrap a present for me.

He was very excited to give it to me and help me to "ope it."

How clever! A coffee mug that says "Mommy Needs Sleep" on one side and "but she'll settle for this cup of coffee" on the other. :)

One night before bed, Aidan decided he'd rather do my hair than get his diaper on.

He did a beautiful job, didn't he?

After sunset on the deck...

Pre-bedtime snuggles

Saying good night to the baby

Always hanging like the monkey he is.

Baby squeeze.

Mommy loves kisses.

And so does baby!

Helping Mommy up the steps. :)

If how he treats the baby in my belly is any indication for what kind of big brother he's going to be, than I truly am the luckiest!
