We have gotten to the point with Aiden that not a whole lot surprises us any more. The kid is a mischievous ball of energy who is always up to something. The other day we discovered money jammed in the gas tank of his fire car.
We have had a ton of snow here in the past two months. As you can see in the pic our deck is over 1/2 full of snow already. The snow flakes were extra big and fluffy the other day so I captured a picture of them. I'm not a huge fan of snow but I do think that the big, fluffy flakes are absolutely beautiful!


One thing I love about where we live is watching all of the deer that roam the fields across the street from our house. Here's a pic that Bryan took the other night - I think we counted over 20 deer that night.

Aiden has never been a good sleeper but lately it has been even worse. He does not want to sleep in his big boy bed anymore. We are trying to be really firm in making sure that he stays in his own room throughout the entire night. Since the big boy bed is a no-go we asked him where he wanted to sleep - on the floor! I have no idea why in the world he would choose the floor over his bed but that is where he has been sleeping for the past two and a half weeks. Whatever! I really don't care where he sleeps as long as it is in his own room. Now we just need to work on making it through the night. He only takes one nap a day and we have put a time limit on it. We are down to six weeks until his little brother arrives so we need to work hard
at this!

Here's some pics of Aiden's bath time master piece (don't worry, he used markers that are designed to be used in the bathtub and wash off the walls when he is finished). By the way, the water is not dirty it is from the bathtub fizz colors he got from Christmas.



Here's a recent pic of me. I'm getting huge! The pregnancy is going well but he is doing what his big brother used to do - get up in my ribs which hurts so bad. If only he would stay away from my ribs everything would be just fine. I try rubbing my belly to get him to move but it usually doesn't work very well. With Aiden the only relief I could find was by sitting on one of those great big exercise balls. I'm not sure what it was about it but it would take the pressure off of my ribs. Do you think my principals would mind if I sat on one of those while teaching all day???? :) :)

Aiden's a pretty bright kid. I throw a lot of money down my gas tank, too!
