After!

Lauren and I finished our island project this evening. It was a lot of work, but we are very happy with the results. Below you'll find a great 'before and after' and you can click the slide show to see the web album. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to put some aloe on my sunburn...

Nothing Runs Like A Deere

So, Daddy's been really excited to get Aaron his first truck. Last Saturday Mommy took Aaron to get a truck and she hit a grand slam! Aaron is the proud owner of a John Deere corn combine with a spinning loader and rocking corn. When asked how he felt about the new toy, Aaron said' "Tractors are cool, but blocks taste better."

Here's our sweet boy!

He's Moving!

Update: The video was posted last night (Tuesday). I was so excited, when I got home from work, to watch Aaron crawl! So, now it's Wednesday morning. Aaron is loving his new superpower of mobility. I have just realized that our world has just made a seismic shift! Aaron has already made three laps around the living room (and it's 6:30am!) Something in his baby brain instinctively makes him crawl directly to a) the DVD player with all the cool knobs and buttons, or b) the computer with the super cool cord hanging off of it. Gone are the days of living life while Aaron sits happily in the middle of living room with a pile of toys. You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone.

Island Project

Lauren and I have been working on the island in the corner of our yard.
It has been wasting away since we moved in 3 years we've been here.
I think it should be finished on Thursday.
Here is what we have done so far.

Baby Basics 101

I would like to preface this story by saying that I love Kyle very much and he is an awesome father and husband...but you've got to see this. This is what happened when Kyle dressed Aaron the other day. Please notice the backward shorts and shoes on the wrong feet. In Kyle's defense, I must say that this is the first time this has happened, but it was too cute to miss.

Kyle and Aaron watching the Masters on TV. I guess Aaron wanted Tiger to win.

Everyone knows that the basket or box that the toys come in is much better than the toy itself. Aaron figured this out quickly.

I thought it was funny that Aaron scooted up as close as possible to the TV. He's not crawling yet, but he somehow made it there.
