Celebrations

CELEBRATION #1

Aiden's 1st birthday is today!!! Yay!! I thought we would never get there, but he made it! ;)  Here are some updates!

Here's Aiden eating at Great-Grandma's house awhile ago, he loves food, he downed a whole Subway sandwich!

Nono and Nona got him a playset for his birthday! He helped Nono, Uncle Al and his daddy put it together, he was super helpful.

Aunt Sally reading to him, he sat still for the first time ever in his entire 1 year of life!

Thanks to Nono, Nona, Grandpa and Nana, Aiden had his 1st birthday cake! I think he liked the chili more though =)

Not a big fan of the cake AT ALL

Unless Nona is feeding it to him.

Happy 1st birthday to my wonderful little man!!

CELEBRATION #2

Introducing our daughter Rachel (this was about a month ago)

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb -Psalm 139:13

Rachel has a severe case of cystic hygroma and probably won't be with us much longer before God receives her into heaven.  Though we will miss out tremendously, she gets to spend eternity in heaven and will be spared suffering and we couldn't ask for more for her.  The pain for us pales in comparison to the glory she is about to experience. This is by far the hardest trial our little family has had to face, but God carries us everyday that we get to spend with her. We would not change it because we have faith in God's plan even though He chooses not to share it with us sometimes!  SO, that is reason to celebrate!

Happy Halloween!

Aiden had a few "firsts" this month, including his first professional haircut and his first Halloween!!

First Haircut!

And the finished product!!

I just love this outfit.

My first Halloween! He has the Pooh bear belly to go with the costume =)

Ok.. seriously.. when do I get to take this thing off?

Ok, I will take it a little longer now that I have a sucker.

Chicago Round 2

Aiden and I headed to Chicago with my mom to visit Katy this week! We had a great time!

Cruising around Lincoln Park Zoo

I love my Aunt Katy!

Gorilla butt way too close!

Ok, enough of the apes

And enough of the camera please Mom.

Crocodile!

First Cubs game at Wrigley Field! So fun!!

Thanks Nona for my matching Cubs jersey!!

Though the game against the Astros was extremely awesome because the Astros almost won.. Aiden didn't share my sentiment as he slept for most of the game. 

Shopping on Michigan Avenue

Aunt Katy's hair makes great handles!!

Enjoying lunch after a break from shopping!

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

We went with our wonderful friends Jason and Kelsey 

There was definitely a lot to see 

But he did nap for most of the game, even with all the noise

Last stop: Labor Day party at the Falzon's

Happy boy!
