Aaahhhh Fall....

I have always loved Fall. I love the colors and the smell...when you walk outside and think "Yum...it smells like Fall." I love that it starts getting chilly and you have to grab a coat. I love pumpkin picking and apple picking and playing in the leaves. And I realized this year, something I could have never known before...I love Fall about a million times more with two little boys who love it too!

Pasta and Parks

Saturday night we had pasta for dinner. Aidan who tends to "double-fist" pasta also tends to wind up with it from head to toe. This evening was especially messy and necessitated a photo op. Needless to say, he was taken from his highchair directly to the tub. Sunday afternoon the boys and I went to the park for a while. Luka was up and down every ladder and slide along the way. They grow up so fast...and he is becoming such a big boy.

Go, BABY, GO!!!

They call him...Aidan-stein... :)

A Busy Weekend

Well, didn't we have a very busy weekend?!

Andro and I went to New Hampshire for Heather and Mike's wedding. I would love to post a picture or two of the happy couple but, although my camera made the journey, a memory card did not. I was therefore only able to take 4 pictures and decided it better just to leave the camera in the room. For any of you reading this who DID take pics, I would love to see some!! Thanks to Heather and Mike for a really fun weekend; we had a great time!!!

In the meantime, back in NJ, Luka and Aidan had the pleasure of keeping Meema and Pop busy! Yesterday they all went to see the "Big Trucks." Firetrucks, ambulances, construction vehicles and the like. Luka was even allowed to climb in the trucks, sit in the front seat and even honk the horn! I do wish I could have been there...he LOVES trucks!!! Thankfully, Meema was able to take a few pictures with her phone.

There was also a petting zoo!! When we called in from the car he was hanging out with the animals. I asked him what he was doing and he goes, "Mama, mama!! COW!!! MMMMOOOOOOOOO!!!" He was so excited! There were rabbits and goats and "Mmamas" (which to you and me are llamas but to Luka are "Mmamas"). I said, "Oh, Llamas?" and he goes, "NO! Mmamas!" So cute!

Here he is gently petting a baby goat!

At the end of the conversation I said, "I'll see you soon, buddy. I love you!" And he goes, "I You, Mommy. I You, Daddy." I just about cried. :)

Then, just in case all that isn't enough fun for one weekend, when I got home Aidan walked across the floor to see me.
Unassisted.
On his own.
Completely.
Walking.
By himself.
Oh.
Crap.

Video of Aidan walking to follow soon!
