catchin' up
wow, these last several weeks have passed quickly in our home. i cannot believe that thanksgiving is behind us with christmas quickly approaching. i actually feel a little resentful about it all...maybe it is the ultra organized me that seems to be in quite a fog after having my fourth child just reacting against being completely unable to pull it all together. i only hope that what my boys remember are my efforts and not all of my failures...
we enjoyed a short trip to nashville over thanksgiving where we were able to spend time with family and friends while showing off the new babe.
then, we headed home to begin another school week and celebrate aidan's seventh birthday! the only possible choice for a party theme was spiderman, of course; and his friends all seemed thrilled to spend time together shooting webs, running though our home, and playing kickball in the park across the street.
happy birthday, aidan! it seems impossible that you are now seven--filled with your own ideas (which are usually contrary to my own), reading everything in sight, smart, athletic, and kind-hearted. we are so blessed!
...and then there is this guy:
he is nine weeks old today and is already incredibly different from the newborn i brought home. smiling, cooing, and increasingly more alert. we could not enjoy him more.
oh, and i forgot to mention ollie's tragic collision into a main street building. this documents our first set of stitches. with four boys, i am sure that it will not be the last. in the picture, the cut has healed, but he is proud to show off his first scar. the er doctor mentioned that it was similar to harry potter's making ollie the coolest three year old in town.

I love Willem's outfit! Cute as a button! We really should hit Niedlov's together sometime. There are a lot of "we should do this sometime"'s aren't there?? Cat wants to see you post your owl's :)
