Summer Days

We've had a great summer so far!  Andrew rebuilt our fence, here's Aiden steering the cart for him, how helpful.


We went to visit Aiden's best friend Sarah...




and to Schlitterbaun with friends.  Here's Aiden's first carousel ride. 


He's a growing boy!

Oh the Joy

... of raising a son!  This is how I feel after the last two weeks



and the best part is... his teacher already called home!! Well, the church nursery, but that counts.  After being
"kicked out" 4 or 5 Sundays in a row for fussing, pooping, biting (he has no teeth!!), etc, we're bridging communication gaps so we can enjoy church someday.  I have a feeling I'm going to be "that mom" that gets a call everyday from his school because he can't sit still and he's too smart for his own good =).  After all, he's just an angel around me, don't know what the problem is!! ha.
