Swimming Lessons

We enrolled Aiden in swimming lessons this year. He's been such a trooper in the water I thought it would be great to get him used to it and start him off early. It's a mom and tot class and we had a blast.

Naked Fun

I love little baby buns! He had so much fun running around outside in his nakedness :)

Terrible 15mo Old?!?

What happened to the terrible TWO'S? Someone never warned us of the terrible 15 months! We've had an interesting few weeks with our little "Angel" :) He's discovered walking as you know, and with the walking came the "tude". He now thinks he's the boss. Someone help!!

Hitting Mama...check....pinching....check....arching his back and screaming...check....yup I think he's officially a toddler.

If anyone has tips for the new parents...we're ALL EARS!!

Edwards = Emergency Room

Many of you are familiar with Eric's love for the emergency room. Ok maybe not LOVE but his ability to be "accident prone". Well we discovered while on vacation it runs in the family :)

While enjoying a morning of fishing Papa Edwards hooked his finger. After a half hour they were off to the emergency room. Where his "loving" son documented his stay.

I have to admit I was a little happy when they called and for the first time it WASN'T Eric :)

Provincetown Sunset

On our last night in Cape Cod we ventured down to Provincetown (P-Town) to watch the sunset. One of the few places on the East Coast you can enjoy the sunset over the water. Eric & the boys were able to get some fishing in. It was cold and WONDERFUL! Probably my favorite experience over the whole trip.

Cape Cod Cemetaries

While visiting Cape Cod Eric and I were able to wander around a couple of cemetaries. One of the things I love about Mass. is the history. We found some pretty old headstones and Eric took some great photos of them. My favorite is the Revolutionary War vet. It was really an honor to view some of these grave sites. It was also neat to see that people still take care of them.

More Beach Fun

Here's our group photo from another beach day. Eric's Uncle Chick & Wendy were able to spend some time with us on the Cape too. It was great spending time with them. We're so happy that he's cancer free. He's an inspiration to us all!

What fun is it to go to the beach and not put your name in the sand :)

Lobstaaahhhh!!!

One of my most favorite things about traveling to Boston is I get to eat Lobstah! Poor Eric sits there and eats a dumb sandwhich or a burger and lets me get my fill of great yumminess!! I love you babe!

Aiden also is starting to learn the great fun of eating Lobstah. That's making the claw talk to him :)

Boys Will Be Boys

One of the best things about this trip was watching Aiden and Lucas together.

They were so cute how well they bonded. Following each other around the house and sharing (or not sharing) cars. It was wonderful to see them together.

Cottage Life

"Cottage" is using the term loosly! The cottage we stayed at had 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It was a wonderful place for all of us to stay together. It was beautiful being secluded from the hustle and bustle. Here are some pictures from where we stayed.

Shiner

Aiden got his first real shiner over the weekend. Walking up the driveway he lost his balance and kissed the concrete. OUCHIE!!

My tough guy was so brave though! We went inside and got the binky sat for a minute and then he was pointing to the door to go back outside.

He's such a tough guy!! I think it hurt me more than him :(

Beach Bum

One thing is for sure....this child LOVES sand! HA! He loves to dig in it, move it from one pile to the next, lay in it, sit in it, and above all else...EAT it!

He was a little nervous at first with the loud waves during high tide but once the tide moved out he was in heaven! Auntie KerKer (AKA Kristin) built him a big pool and he loved it. In fact we had to take him out once he started shivering from the cold water.

Another thing is for sure...he got this love from his Dad! HA! Here is Eric buried as a mermaid :)
