Trip to Virginia to see Aunt Jules & Uncle James!

Mama, Aiden, & Daddy in front of George Washington's house
George Washington did it up right....check out the view from his porch overlooking the Potomac River! AMAZING!
Smithsonian Museum
WOW....check this out!
AWWW poor Aiden, DC is exhausting. It's nap time for Aiden; he fell asleep like this on the tourmobile.
I LOVE this photo of Julie and James!! We had a WONDERFUL time, and we hope to come back to visit again!! :)

Happy Halloween!

My Baby Giraffe

Dressing myself!

Good job, Aiden. Mama is glad you are wanting to learn how to dress yourself. This was a basket of clean laundry he got into....I must add.

Just like the good old days!

I guess this is probably what kids did back in the day before crayons. We were hanging out on the deck, having a few drinks, and turn around....Aiden had gotten a piece of wood and a burnt piece out of the chiminea and was drawing with it. WOW! Is he a genius or what? Pretty impressive for a 22 month old.

Day out with Thomas!

takin a ride.....waiting to ride Thomas

Eckert's Farm...fall is so much fun!


Aiden talked about riding the ponies the whole way there, but was a little nervous once he got on. Trusted Dad a little more than the pony.
Aiden's favorite part. The tractor ride to pick our apples and pumpkins.


"I found a good one!"
"How 'bout this one, Dadda!"

Here's my money....time to go snack on some apples.
Aiden and Noah.......dressed alike but not planned, and it was too cute!

Sunday Afternoon Hike at SIUE

Got my boots on, and I'm ready to go exploring.


Daddy showing me that a deer has been here.



Pumpkin Carving!



Mama and Aiden's Mickey Mouse pumpkin. Daddy tried to tell us how to do it, but we did just fine on our own!

Dinner on "The Hill" with Mom and Dad

Go Cards!
