He always makes this face when he’s super excited about something, but I’ve never been able to catch it with my camera. Usually when I bust out the camera, he runs away. But the other day I took him to a field at sunset and let him run crazy. We started singing his fave song, “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,” and he started dancing like a maniac – and he made THE face. I was so happy to finally capture it!
Ok, that’s not from me, that’s from Aidan. That was part of the deal when I became pregnant. Dan got the football team, while I got the baseball team. So here’s Aidan getting drenched in his little Redskin’s jersey, which was a wonderful Christmas present from his awesome Aunt Rachel. (I can’t believe it still fits him!) Dan, Aidan and I recently headed out to Creve Coeur Lake/Park. It was the first time for both of them, and they loved it – especially because they practiced skipping rocks in the lake. That’s one of their favorite things in the world to do – and it’s the only time Aidan is calm and peaceful.
Little did we know when we took him to the park there would be a water fountain. Who were we to deny our little water lover a walk through the water? He loved it! Imagine that (I say laced with sarcasm). The only downside, he had to ride back to Aunt Michelle’s house in just a diaper. That’s one of those things we said we’d NEVER do. Be one of those parents. I guess you should never say never. But Aidan had a blast, and that’s all that matters…
I have to tell you, this summer in St. Louis has been awesome – so different from the Texas summers. I don’t miss them a bit. It was downright cool today. We even played outside, which I guarantee you, if we were still in Texas, we would not be doing.
My beautiful niece, Reilly. I love her. She’s such an old soul.
Aidan has his serious face on because he was watching the dog run around the yard.
My nephew, Justice, being squirt in the face by Reilly.
This is Justice’s mean face. Are you scared?
Reilly and her dog, Sheba. Yup, a dog named Sheba. Go figure.
