About Time!

So I'm finally going to post about vacation. Really not a lot to say but it was fun and relaxing and great to see family and friends. We were pleasantly surprised by a shower on Sunday in Massachusetts. Grandma Sayers threw it for us and asked everyone to sign a book instead of a card... we came home with LOTS of books! Thank you Grandma, Grandpa & Aunt Michelle!!!
Here's a pic of Aidan loving his party!


We spent half of the week in Maine and Aidan got to meet his great grandparents for the first time. He also got to meet his great aunt & uncle, Kay & David and his great uncle from Colorado, Henry. He liked Henry, he has a big belly and when he held Aidan and laughed it jiggled Aidan and Aidan would laugh and laugh!
This photo is so sweet! This is a pic of Great Grammy, Great Grampy and Uncle Henry. My grandfather wanted to push the stroller. Too sweet. (the fields on either side is covered with young blue spruce trees, my grandparents planted all of them a couple years ago. There are HUNDREDS! My grandparents are such an inspiration, to work that hard, it's really hard to believe they are 89 and 85!


Here's Aidan with his great Grammy. I love this picture!



While we were in Maine Aidan learned to roll! He still needs help but he does roll from back to belly! Once we got home Aidan had his 6 month check up, he's doing great! He's in the 2 percentile ... he's on the charts!!! And we got the go ahead to start cereal - HA, that's a slow process! He also had his NICU follow up appointment. His muscles in his arms and legs are stronger than his mid section so we just have to give him more tummy time and give him baby massages and stretches! Preemies have their own growth charts and I'm happy to announce that Aidan is in the 75 percentile for the preemies!!!

Can you even believe our little miracle boy is 6 months old already?!

We're Back...

Yes, we are back and had a great time. It's just been hard to readjust to work/home life. I still haven't completely unpacked yet and we've been home since Sunday. I'll post soon with pics and update ya'll on rolling over and the NICU follow up.... Aidan's doing great!

Time Off

I've been swamped with catalog production which was going so wonderfully until we go the color proof today... and all the photos were too dark. Didn't notice because when I was on mat leave they fried my motherboard and my new comp wasn't calibrated and didn't have the color profiles it should. UGH! But after spending 9 or so hours today editing photos, correcting pages exporting the entire thing back to a pdf and re-sending to the printer... it's done. And pretty much out of my hands.

Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to packing up the family and heading North tomorrow. We're visiting family and friends in Mass then heading to Maine to visit more family and friends. Aidan will be meeting most of his family for the very first time!

Will be back in 10 days or more with pics!

I Did It!!!

I actually scrapped on a Saturday, making this a legit Saturday Scrap! I got 2 more pages done for Zoey's book. Only 2 left to go, for her 10th & 11th grade photos but I need to stop by a scrapbook store and find some "school" paper.

I did finish her graduation page, it needs a "class of..." sticker though:


And her mother & me page:

Giggles!

Aidan laughed today!! It was a real chuckle and I think it amused him as much as it did Mommy and Daddy. It was so cute, Daddy got him smiling and talking and then he laughed…. and kept laughing. It made our day!
