Happy Holidays...

Happy Holidays to everyone!

It's been a while, and I wanted to go ahead and end 2009 with our annual Christmas photos, a little wrap up, and some resolutions for 2010. As you can see - We visited Santa again this year...

Aiden is on the naughty list, and not too happy about it! Actually, he's just terrified of Santa. Perfect! Raleigh is trying her hardest to look innocent - because she wants toys (nearly every one she sees) and her Christmas list is getting longer by the minute. I can see a second (or third) job in my future with all the things Raleigh NEEDS at 4 years old, I dread her being 15, I think I'm going to be bankrupt!

Raleigh and Aiden are getting along so much better now that Raleigh started school. I guess she is realizing that you really do have to share! Ha! That and she's met several other kids with little brothers/sisters - surely some of them are nice to their siblings - at least the constant copy-catting can do some good, right?

I was talked into a family photo - I try to avoid my picture being taken at all costs - but I guess every now and again it's ok! They turned out pretty nice actually!

Need to do some catching up - a lot has happened since April! Be on the look out for some back posting and pictures! FOr now, I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year!!! I miss hearing from many of you since I dropped off the face of the blogger earth - and hope some of you will get back in touch!

What would you do....

If you came out of your bedroom and saw THIS...

He's all boy, that's for sure!

Life is good

These are Aiden's 7 month pictures. I'm so late in updating that this weekend he'll be 8 months already! So there will be another round of pictures coming. We actually managed to perform the miracle of getting both of them in a picture together this go round!

Aiden is sitting up, and has just started crawling a little. I'm sad to say that I think his days in the 6-12 month clothes are drawing to a close. Shorts still fit, but shirts are getting small and short. I guess when I had him in at 6 months (well really closer to 7 months since I was late with the appointment) and he was around 22 pounds and 29 1/2 inches long - I should have figured this day wasn't far off. He's just growing SO fast, I don't remember Raleigh growing so quickly!

We are getting ready for our trip up north in September. Raleigh got a new hat and gloves (they have little dollies on the fingers) which she is just in love with. While I was gone one day, Daddy let her play "NEW YORK" which means putting on her hat and gloves. I guess she added a few other accessories to her pajamas to complete the look.

Last wednesday I met one of my friends and her daughter at Busch Gardens (Hi M!) and the girls had an absolute blast in the water! It was hot, but fun!

Aiden had his little swim trunks on too! He sat and splashed around in the water the entire time! he really likes it!

Raleigh is anxiously awaiting her birthday party August 23rd! All her little friends have birthdays before her...so she keeps wondering if the next party will be hers. FINALLY, we can say that the very next party is her party. Now she just has to try and wait almost two weeks! Hard to believe she'll be three! Where did that time go?

6 months old...

Ok, so I've not been good with updating. Life has been very busy. I have pictures from Nonny and Poppy's visit that I still haven't posted (mind you that was almost 2 weeks ago!)...but I promise I will get to them. We are heading into my two week break, and that means a little bit of free time. The week of the 4th we are headed to the beach, so I definately won't be getting anything done then...anyhow, I guess I shouldn't make excuses.

Aiden is 6 months old! Hard to believe time has gone by so quickly! He's a big boy, growing fast, and almost sitting up (I fear his huge noggin is affecting his balance!) No teeth yet - just buckets upon buckets of drool. He is almost out of the 6-12 month clothes...especially in onesies and rompers. He also laughs (which I will have to post a video of, it's so cute!) and smiles all the time!

Raleigh is doing good too! Swim class has been a huge success - she can now dive down and get rings off the bottom of the pool. She LOVES swimming! Even if she is never good at it, I'm so happy that she likes it and isn't scared of the water. I think her last class until August is next Monday! That means another GOLD MEDAL (oh how she loves those!!).

I promise, more pictures to follow!
