I wished I had my camera...

Aden & I went to the library today after running a bunch of errands. My intention was to quick run in to pick up some books I have on hold and get home to put Aden down for a nap. He had a different agenda though. He immediately went to the children's section, picked up a book and sat at a table. He started going through books and making up stories as he went along. At one point, I looked back to where Aden was sitting at and he looked like such a big boy, sitting so well on the little kid chair with the book propped on the table. It was such a perfect moment and he looked so happy just being around all these books. Too bad I didn't have my camera. Hopefully that moment will forever be in my memory bank. It gave me such mixed emotions on how big my little boy is getting and at the same time, great joy that he's enjoying the same things that gives his mom pleasure.

Boys will be boys...

Aden & I had a lunch date with my good friend, Beth & her son, Zach at P.B. & Ellie's. The boys enjoyed playing with the toys in the restaurant, but they definitely enjoyed climbing up the tree on our way out to the car a lot better.

Trouble & Trouble

I was starting to get convinced that Aden might take after me and be a little more cautious, but now I know that he'll take after dad and be a daredevil too.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a great year ahead, full of wonderful happy moments!

What a difference a year makes...

This picture was taken exactly one year ago.

Now he can hold on to the stump on his own!

Another beautiful day at the beach

We took advantage of the great day over the weekend and spent most of the time hanging out on the beach and climbed the dune one more time.

And, Aden's new favorite thing to do is to slide down the dune. It was great watching him be a daredevil and try to launch off the edge...
