All Saints Eve...

Every year, we celebrate All Saints Eve at our church on October 31st. Simon talks about it constantly for about two months ahead. He loves dressing up and the CANDY!!!! This year we went as Daniel ( Simon), the Lion in the den ( Owen) and Aidan the angel that God sent to protect Daniel.

Aidan's All Saints debut...

He made his debut as an angel and even "flew" threw the air to make his part more authenic.

Simon's future wife, Claire...

They looked to stinking cute dressed up together that I couldn't resist taking this shot :)

Owen's glasses...

The exciting news this month for Owen is that he got glasses. He actually has to wear a patch all day long, too, but we took it off for the picture. He is doing pretty well overall and is a real trooper!

Maggie's best friend...

Aidan ADORES Maggie and literally crawls after her all day long. I honestly don't remember the other boys being so excited about her at this age. Unfortunately, he pulls on her hair and so I have to watch the two of them constantly while they are together.

Aidan... 8 months old....

Aidan is wearing the sweater that Aunt Barb knitted for him and looking so cute!!! ( Thanks Aunt Barb :) He looks SO much like Owen it is rather scary!

Aidan and Owen...

Over the past few months, I have noticed that Owen has started to enjoy Aidan's presence more. Before it was rather questionable at times :) He has become more of a protector and is constantly dragging him out of "harms way." :)

Sy and Aidan

Simon just loves Aidan. He loves to play with him and carry him around the house ( which I carefully monitor :) Aidan gets really excited when Simon comes near him. It is cute to see how much they like each other.

Aidan ..... our very active baby!!!!

Aidan does not stop moving all day long. He will NOT lay still for diaper changes unless he has a toy in his hand. Try and change his diaper WITHOUT a toy and you will not suceed :) However, it is difficult to stay mad at him long as he is a darling little guy.

A Day Out With Thomas....

In the middle of August, we went to "The Day Out with Thomas" at our railroad museum. We bought the tickets months in advance and boys couldn't wait to go. We had such a fun day. They got to ride on a real life sized Thomas train, play on carnival type rides, play mini golf and get tattoos. It was such a fun day that we literally had to drag them out of the place. I think we'll be saving up again to go next year as it was a total blast :)
