fathers day

wishing a happy fathers to the greatest dad. aidan loves you so much and i just love watching you with him. i just love to see aidans face light up as he runs to the door yelling "daddy!" when you come home.

also, happy father day to craigs dad and my dad. i am thankful that aidan has two grandfathers that clearly love him very much and that will do what ever he wants to make him happy. (even when it means throwing a ball back and forth a million times, or taking him out to ride his bike)

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

new neighbors

we have new neighbors (sort of)

i noticed these cute little baby birds in their nest the other day. the mother bird will sit on the ground underneath the nest all day. when the birds pop tier heads up and tweet, she finds food and brings it up to them. aidan and i have really been enjoying watching these little birds and their mom.

fire trucks

about a month ago we were lucky enough to be invited to the braintree fire station for a tour. i knew aidan was going to LOVE this activity... and he sure did!

he was so excited, he couldn't sit still!!

hanging with is friend aiden. patiently waiting for the firemen to give them a tour.

ringing the bell.

sitting in the truck. i don't think he wanted to ever get out.

looking out the fire truck window.

i thought the firemen were crazy when they said the kids were going to get use the hoses. but they did a great job, and loved every minute of it!
