Aiden's School Pictures

As promised, here are the pictures we got from Aiden's school. One is his individual school picture, and the other is his class picture. I am sure you can figure out which is which....So, there you go, my handsome little boy in his first school pictures looking as dapper as can be :). Don't you just love it when the smile big for pictures?

It's Been a While

It's been quite a while since I posted. Valentine's Day was a long time ago, we are well into March now. Aiden had his first school pictures taken and we got them back. They turned out adorable, as usual with him. He is doing GREAT in his dance class, and he gets a chance to actually perform for the first time on the same day as the March of Dimes : March for Babies. It will be literally immediately after the walk. We will have to leave right after we are done walking to get to the recital in time. He is also doing very well in school. We had our first Parent Teacher Conference at the beginning of the month. His teacher said that coming from where he started when he joined the class, and given that he had only been there for 3 months at the time, he had made HUGE strides in his progress. She was very proud of how far he had come. And so are we, he went from not talking and just babbling, to speaking in sentences. Sometimes the words aren't clear, but he will speak in 5 to 6 word sentences. That is a GIGANTIC difference from where he started. He will also engage other children in play, where as before he would just stand and watch what they were doing. So, Aiden is doing really well. Jeremy is doing pretty well, his back is giving him trouble a lot again. And he is working pretty much all the time, 12 hour shifts during the week, and 8 to 4 on Saturdays and Sundays again, so we don't get much time together right now, but it is only for a little while, and it will be over quickly enough, and back to normal hours again eventually. Tonight we are going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D and leaving Aiden with some friends of ours so we get some alone time. I can't wait for that! I am getting pretty busy myself. I am currently in charge of our squadrons Spouses Club, which is just getting started up. I am also the team captain of our family team for March of Dimes: March for Babies, which is really a difficult thing to do, let me tell you. I am having trouble recruiting members for the team and getting donations for the team too. So, if anyone out there actually reads this...besides Katie Turnure, who has already made a donation...could you either join the team and walk with us, or make a donation to our team... Here is the link to go to to make a donation or join the team it works for both. I am also in the McConnell Players here on base, the bases theatre group, and we are putting on a variety show called "Totally '80's: Like Gag Me With a Spoon". Its going to be great, it will be the 7th and 8th of May if anyone would like to come out and see me sing and dance in it. I will be singing "Hey Mickey" and dancing "Thriller". It should be a riot. Aside from all of that, I have been just being Aiden's mom which is a full time job in and of itself. Which I love every minute of. So, that is our life right now....I will post pictures of Aiden's school pictures later on today or tomorrow for all to see...til then, enjoy folks.
