So, yeah. I’m behind on showing pictures of my own child. Actually, if I’m honest with myself, I’m mortified at how few pictures I actually have of him from the past 6 months. I’ve been so busy, too busy, to take pictures of my own child. That makes me really sad, so I’m going to be changing some things for next year. There WILL be a better balance between home and work. There just has to be. So, one Saturday morning in October, Aidan and I had nothing to do. Dan was working, and we were on our own. I had heard about Thomas the Tank Engine making an appearance in Granite City, and I knew it would be something Aidan would enjoy. Trains are one of the ONLY things that occupies him for an extended period of time, and it all started back HERE. (I can’t believe how little he looks there!!!!)
I can’t remember why I bought this whistle. He still likes to play it. Loudly.


My little junior engineer!

Aidan’s favorite – Thomas!

I had a session with the adorable 1-year-old, Owen tonight. He is sooo cute, with his big blue eyes and his wispy brown hair and a smile that is just to-die-for. Such the cutie patootie. I’ve known his mom for about 8 years. We met in college while living in the dorms. Aaaah the good old days.
Here’s a little sneak preview for his mom and dad. I had a great time catching up, you guys!

His mom would ask him how old he was, and he would hold up his one little finger – too cute!
