SIX MONTHS OF AIDAN

I`ve been looking at pictures of Aidan that we`ve taken since he was born lately and can hardly believe how much he has changed as he has grown over the last six months. So I thought that I would create this slide show to document all of it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving was, like always, a busy and fun day, where there is guilt free eating of my Aunt Ellen`s sweet potato souffle(now made every year in her memory by my cousins Ginger and Eve)pumpkin pie, and other various delicious desserts. What`s not to love about that? The kids were full of energy as always, excited about seeing cousins that live nearby and some that made a trip for the holiday. Aidan was very excited to see everyone milling around, and to be handed off to anyone who was willing to entertain him. He also enjoyed the home cooking. He ate rice and gravy, lima beans, and the aforementioned sweet potato souffle. I was given a good laugh by my cousin Cameron(whom I`ve known since not long after he was born). While eating our dessert at our Grandma Carroll`s table, he looked at me and informed me that it was very nice to meet me, resulting in the laughter of everyone within earshot. There were camera issues(thankfully now resolved), so that`s why there aren`t any pictures at Grandma and Papa Carroll`s house. Oh well, there`s always Christmas. I enjoy Thanksgiving for so many reasons, but this year there were so many extra things to be thankful for.

1. My wonderful husband
2. My healthy baby
3. All four grandparents
4. That my parents are safe while giving a wonderful service
5. A large family to spend holidays with
6. That Uncle Les is safe
7. That Lauren is still pregnant
