Party time!

Since I (Alex) missed his actual B-day in DC, Nell had agreed to hold off on his party until I got back. It ended up being a great day, though slightly crowded at night as we had Nell's entire family, her sister's boyfriend Matt, my mom and my cousin Jeff all under one (well two as Matt and I slept in the loft for its first use) roof.

Aidan loved the taste of his cake so much he dove right in... face first.

BEACH!

We finally took Aidan to the beach for the first time of the summer. Granted it was the dog beach, and only on the inlet, he still had a blast. The upside was Ned & Hana got to come, as NJ isn't very dog friendly in the summer. The downside within the first 30 seconds we had to grab Aidan to prevent him from playing with poop!

By the time he was done he was freezing, which considering we had driven over with all the doors off the jeep wasn't that great of a thing. Between G, Matt and the dogs we were able to keep him warm enough, not that he could care one bit either way.We tested his life jacket too, which seamed to work well so we can take him out on the canoe in the next few weeks.

Grandma Joy took us to the petting zoo!

Grandma Joy found a really cute little petting zoo today! Aidan LOVED it- he ran around pointing at everything with such wonder in his eyes! The chickens, ducks & geese that were fee roaming were one of his favorites! He was not scared of any of the animals but he was also very gentle with them- not like he is with our dogs! It was a really great find!

yardwork

As much as I love this yard and all the gardens... It is taking FOREVER to get things back in shape! Aidan Likes helping though!


The boy finally has a room!

We FINALLY got Aidan's furniture over the weekend! Next time we ask if it's finished production before we order so we don't find out weeks after it's supposed to get here!

starting over

I've been majorly slacking in the blog world! I got so far behind that it just got to be too much to play catch up! So instead... we'll start over!
