What we've been up to...

We've been busy and having lots of fun lately!!

Apple picking with the cousins!



First day of school (Aidan wasn't overly psyched to leave Mommy behind)!

First ice skating lesson & they did GREAT!

Lots of dress up, such as this fashion forward olympian pirate!

And of course, SOCCER with coach Daddy!

She LOVES it and asks me every night at bedtime to tell her about how she is a soccer star!

Supportive brother (who thinks he may want to give it a shot himself in the Spring season)!

Number 31 in action!!  She's super fast when she puts her mind to it.

Lots more skating, soccer and fall activities in our future before we hunker down for the winter.  And despite his rough start, Aidan is loving school and doing really well.  And Maddie is still Ms. Pat's favorite little 'Maddie Mouse'.

Countdown to F-I-V-E

The birthday season is upon us!  The chances of getting all of the cousins together on a weekend once sports have started is nil; so we had an early birthday party for Maddie & Aidan.  They were adorable waiting at the curb to greet all of their guests. 

Modeling their party hats



the Gang (of course Aidan was looking the other way)!

the cake

It was a Mario Kart theme and a fun time seemed to be had by all.  Of course when people ask how old they are and Kurt tells them, "five"; I adamantly deny it and remind him that my babies are still only four!  A couple more weeks before it's official after all :-)
