Life is crazy!

Or so it's felt like lately. Adam got volunteered to work the second shift at work. SO, he will now be working 2pm to 11:45pm. It's going to take a lot to use to it. We are so scheduled... it's going to be hard for a while. The good news is he will now get to sleep in, (a little) and miss traffic. It's a good thing I'm at home, other wise we'd never see each other!

My photography stuff is really taking off. I've got 2 weddings scheduled over the next few months!! I've also got some family portraits scheduled. I'm really excited!!!! Some of the mom's in my mom's group have mentioned wanting to do some spring portraits too!!! YEAH!!!!!!!

Aiden has found himself a girlfriend. He just loves one of the little girls in our play group. She is about 5 months old and he likes holding her and looking at her. He is very sweet with the little babies. He pats them on the back and is surprisingly gentle.

Grandma Jane is in town and we have had a really great time visiting w/ her!!! We're going to pick Ryann up a day early so she can get some good bonding time with her before she heads back home. (Thanks for letting us do that Mel!!)

Jenny and Chandler are going to be staying with us this weekend too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aiden is very excited his best bud is coming to visit!!

Hope your all doing well! Give us a call, maybe Aiden and I will have you over for dinner while Adam's at work :(

Good times!

We have been very busy lately. Ryann was home with us for a little over a week. We sure were sad to see her go back to her mommy's. Aiden LOVED her being here. He followed her all over the place, never left her side. When she would get into bed before him he would cry while giving her kisses night night; it was very sweet. Thinking about her leaving and how much it would bother him made me think, (for about half a second) that I wanted another one; but that would just mean I'd have two sad ones instead of one :(

Adam's birthday was last Saturday, 28 years old!!!!!!!! He and I went out Friday to celebrate his birthday and St. Patrick's day. The 17th is also when we starting dating, time has really flown by! Saturday afternoon we had a small get together at our new house to celebrate Adam's big day, then we had a special dinner with Gamma and Papa. After wards Adam brought the kids home and I went and took some portraits.

Aiden took a small spill down a couple of stairs yesterday, he is fine; just upset him for a short while. He is getting so big! He talks your ear off these days, he uses the words he knows and throws in a LOT of baby talk. He must have picked up on how often Ryann's mouth moves, and just picks up when she leaves. Seriously between the two of them we may never have a silent moment again! It's worth it though. Their little voices are the sweetest sounds!!

Grandma Jane, or GG; as the kids call her will be flying in on Saturday. We haven't seen her since early May of last year. We're all looking forward to her week long visit!!! I think she is going to be floored at how much the kids have grown and changed.

Hope your all doing good, new pictures are up!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

May the roads rise to meet you.

May the wind be at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

The rain fall soft upon your fields And,

until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

A GAELIC BLESSING

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT JANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Home Sweet Home

We're all moved. Still have some unpacking to do, but all our 'stuff' is in the new place. I got the kids rooms all set up, and they really seem to be enjoying them. Ryann just keeps telling me her room is "SO cute!!". Aiden likes his room too. He'll play in it all day. He really likes that he has some room to walk, (Adam and I are pretty happy about that too).

Adam's birthday is this Saturday, we're having a small get together with some family and friends. Hope everyone is doing great!

The joys of moving, BLA!!

We've been packing for the past couple of days, YUCK!! I forgot how much I hate moving! Thank God we won't have to do this again for a while. Our place is a HUGE mess. It's a lot harder w/ kiddos. You can't pack much because I keep thinking well I MIGHT need that for Aiden... this stinks! We are moving this weekend, we're waiting for Ryann to be here so she can be apart of this big move. Adam and I went and painted the kids rooms last weekend. I really must pat us on the back, they look great! Not sure when we'll have a chance to post again - can't be sure how long it will take to have our Internet turned back on. Hope your all doing great!!

Potty Party!

Okay, so he may kill me when he gets older for putting this out for the whole world to see. Aiden went from just sitting on the potty to USING it today! Adam and I don't expect any big changes, but we are very happy and excited for our big boy!!! After he got done, we sang our potty song and did our little dance, then he got a snack as a reward. He was very excited, even though I don't think he really understood what all the excitement was about.
