1 1/2

Our little "Bug" is 1 1/2 today.... Happy Half-Birthday Aaron!!! Thank you to Patty for remembering this because I most assuredly would not have :). It's amazing how quickly a year and a half can just fly right by... so much has happened during his short, little life. He is so much fun and so good natured, keeps me laughing all the time... I absolutely LOVE this kid!

We spent half of the day doing normal everyday things like painting, reading, and cleaning (of course!), until I received Patty's email. Then, we decided we needed to celebrate. Patty left a little gift for him (some fun children's CDs... we've heard them both all the way thru already!) and then we headed upstairs to set up his "Big Boy Bed." He is is love with this bed and was really hoping to get to sleep in it tonight.... however, I would like to move him up slowly, maybe start with a couple of naps. I am not quite ready for my little man to grow up! Plus, Adalie still has a little while yet before she moves into her own room so we're really in no hurry.

This evening we went down south to pick up a carpet for our basement... we bought it from a couple that owns a townhome right on the Lake, so we stopped and picked up our dollar menu favorites from McD's and headed to a park just down the street. It was such beautiful night for it... in fact, it was actually a little chilly (I had almost forgotten what that felt like!). There were bazillions of dragonflies out... We are experiencing a record number of dragonflies migrating thru this year because of the warm and humid spring. It's incredible to see!

Hope you all have a wonderful night.... especially my sister-in-law, who is just about to meet her sweet little girl for the very first time. Praying for you Micah and Daniela!
