Wow! It has been a lonnnng time!

We finally have gotten around to updating the blog. Not sure what our excuse is this time, I think pure laziness! Here is our not so little guy and what he has been up to.

Cheesing it up with Papa!

Just too cute!

Aiden has become quite the little water baby! Here he is splashing and having fun at the lake!

We're Back

Wow, what a crazy couple of months! The holidays really took it out of us, and we are finally getting back in the swing of things! Here are some of our favorite pictures from the last few months.

Halloween

Aiden's first Halloween was a fun one! Our little Giraffe got to show off all his cuteness to a few neighbors and called it a night!

Getting Back in the Swing of Things

Unfortunately it has been awhile since our last post. With returning to work and Aiden starting at daycare, which he seems to love, we have hardly had a free moment. I think we are starting to finally settle in to our new routine and we can't believe how fast our little buddy is growing up. Over the last month, he has been enjoying his new highchair (thanks Uncle Matt and Aunt Kelly), eating all sorts of new foods, and just continues to get cuter and cuter. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the last month!

More Summer Memories

This week marks the last for me to enjoy solely with my little guy. With some trepidation I have to return to work on Friday and am enjoying the last few days hanging out with Aiden. Yesterday we visited Rose, his new daycare provider, and spent some time hanging out with her staff, the other children, and her two dogs, Daisy and Betty Sparkles!

As a last hurrah of summer Dirk, Aiden, and I spent last week Up North. Our friends Matt and Amy joined us for a couple days with their son Jeremy. Jeremy was born only a month before Aiden and we are looking forward to them becoming great friends!

Our Big Guy

Aiden is growing up so fast. This month he has really been flipping over, spending more time on his tummy, and even began eating rice cereal!

Summer Days at the Cottage

Listening to music at The Boondocks

Luckily we were able to escape to the cottage for a week and enjoy Northern Michigan at its best! Aiden,Wilson, Dirk, and I enjoyed a wonderful week exploring, going to art fairs and home tours, hiking and just hanging out. Oh, and battling with a bee's nest (Dirk did win)! Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Hiking up Pyramid Point for the spectacular view!

Enjoying some time on the deck!

Hanging out at The Boondocks, again.

Watching the sunset on Sleeping Bear Bay!
