Photo Friday

When I was writing my post yesterday I realized how many stories and pictures haven't made it to the blog with the chaos that's been going on the last few months (travel, visitors, changes at work for both Ryan and me, the CND plague, yada, yada). So I am just going to put up some pictures with a quick caption so all is not lost for the summer of 2013. (which, by the way, is crazy that it's almost over! however, I would like to argue that September is not really the end of summer if you live in Texas. the pool will remain open at least through the end of the month....) Anyway, back to the original point of the post....photos!



Watching the planes out the airport window. We really like planes.

Loving some time with cousin Gianna in NY

Happy to hang out with Uncle Lee

Why is it that Aiden only smiles in non-family photos?

I was surprised at how quickly Aiden figured out
how to get into this car by himself.

It was mainly about the process of climbing in and out
of the pink car and less about riding around in it.

I made my first solo flight with Aiden in July and we survived!
Looked a little front and back heavy doing it...but survived.

Strangely, none of the other 6am business passengers wanted to
sit by a 1 year old. Lucky for Aiden me, this meant Aiden got
to enjoy his own seat for part of the flight.

Mowing the yard....

...and the driveway...

...while also trying to figure out how the bubble blower works.

We love our boat...probably more outside of the water than in it.

First visit to the zoo!

Gianna being her adorable self....while Aiden is not so sure about
hanging out with a cheetah.

Gianna was my photographer at the zoo, and she captured some good shots!



Uncle Beard and Aunt Brooke. Yeah, Uncle Beard. Aiden thinks my brother's
beard is hilarious. He loves it but is also afraid of it. And now, when you say
"beard" he rubs his cheeks and chin. :)

Hopefully this video uploads cause I crack up every time I watch it, but I know sometimes blogger has issues. During our trip to the airport in July where Delta was awesome as always and canceled our flight because they wouldn't make curfew at LGA, we discovered the perfect way to tire Aiden out pre-flight. If only we'd made the flight out that evening instead of having to haul our cheerful selves back to the airport during the 5 am hour the next morning. Oh Delta, how I loathe thee. Back to the video.....
