...

Sometimes I just really don't know what to call a post.  Most of the time when I start a post, my first thought to call it is, "Randomness."  Actually, my last post was called that...I'm just super creative.

Anyway, since Patrick and Aiden are pretty close in age, I still have all of Patrick's clothes and now Aiden is wearing them.  It's been nice not having to buy much the second time around since we're still poor college students...for now.  I'm probably weird and get more enjoyment out of this than I should, but I like taking pictures of Aiden that are similar to what I did with Patrick.  Like these pictures, for example:
Patrick around 2 months


Aiden almost 3 months

Me with Aiden-just so I can be matchy matchy to the first picture and have a picture with both boys in the same outfit. I know, weird.

And then there's the boppy pictures.  I really mean it when I say Aiden is a happy little boy.  His giggles...I can't get enough.  After 30 minutes of me pulling stupid faces and talking in annoying baby talk, Patrick will come up to me and say, "swing, mom, swing!" Meaning, "mom, you should pay attention to me now and put Aiden in his swing."


Patrick was a much more serious baby although you'd never guess that because he's a goofball now.


Aside from taking pictures of my kids and talking in baby talk all day, I have decided to follow the current trend where people have decided running is the cool thing to do.  I don't particularly love running unless a race is involved so I've decided to sign up for the Color in Motion 5k in July and the Rush Triathlon in August.  It feels good having goals to work for...even if it takes me 10 hours to run the 10k in the triathlon.

Jon wants to train with me...he says...but he stays busy with school and working on the weekends. ;)   Although, he just got offered his dream job(besides working for Apple or developing his own apps), so the  weekend night job will be done in a little while.  The boss even took him out to lunch today and everything.  Very businesslike.  The whole job situation was a little...complicated, since Jon left Broulims but we're hoping he's done trading for awhile and we're really excited about this company.  He even gets to work from home so we'll go from never seeing each other, to seeing each other all the time.  I know that doesn't work for every couple but for us it's the ideal situation.  We don't need our space. ;)  I say this all the time but July cannot come soon enough.

And lastly, our family is participating in the Relay for Life again at the end of June.  June 21-22 to be exact.  So if anyone wants to come join Dad's Team 2.0, we would love to have you all come walk with us.  We're also raising money for the American Cancer Society so if you'd like to donate to that, you can do that here:

  1. Congrats on the job! That's exciting. Can't wait to hear more. Also, pushing a double stroller is hard work. You're gonna rock those races.
