My Baby "A" is 8 months old...

Well, here we are on the countdown to the 1st birthday. January seems so far away, but honestly!! I can't believe my little fella is 8 months old!!! Why do they have to grow this fast? Probably for sanity's sake. Aidan's tricks this past month include: Crawling (Yay!) Sprouting 2 teeth, crying when I leave the room, laughing more and more at his silly sisters, pulling himself up to furniture (only on his knees) and drinking from the cup in the bath tub...(actually not my favorite trick, but what can you do?). He is a busy little guy that gives us a lot to do around here. He makes us so happy and we love him to pieces! Spoiled little monster boy...

Cleaning up for winter...

Today we did a little yard work/harvesting of the garden before winter hits. We probably have only a couple of weekends left around here.... Anyway, we moved the swingset into the shade for the kids to enjoy and then Mike and I did the work--with a little assistance from the girls. This is the kind of success we had from our garden. Not much to brag about--next year right?!?!
