Aedhan's Bike Helmet

We bought this awhile back for Aedhan. We've been trying to get him to put it on, so when he starts to ride his tricycle, he'll be ready. He's already taken taken a bite out of the back, and his mommie clipped his chin once he had it on.

Wearing His Construction Helmet

We bought Aedhan little Tonka Learning Books. It's a set of 10 Books. In the Book labeled Safety, it says,"to stay safe, construction workers wear helmets." Everytime we read any of these books, he always has to put on his construction helmet.

Trial Run of Putting Up Our New Tent

Aedhan admiring the New Tent
On one of the hottest days of the year, we decided to try a trial run of setting up Our Tent for Four. Lisa and Aedhan sat in the cool water of the swimming pool, while Paul set-up the tent, cursing all the time.
Our New Family Tent is a Kelty Green River 4. It is HUGE! And the vestibule can hold our entire two person tent.

Look at me - "I'm pressing my nose against the mesh!!"

My visit to Montrose Beach

Aedhan is 21 Months old, and we've never taken him to Lake Michigan to just play in the sand and water. It's amazing how much he loves the water and sand. We tried to get him into swim lessons at the Local Park, but they were already full. We try to work on swimming in the bath tub.



He puts the sand in the bucket!

Here Aedhan relishes destroying someone's sand castle. He is sometimes a very destructive person.








Playing My Harmonica,"Our Music Virtuoso"

When we were in North Carolina, Paul and I bought Aedhan an harmonica because he loved playing his Daddie's. He'll walk around the house just making music. For his Birthday, we want to get him a Piano to start learning.

Music in Lincoln Square

During the summer, there are concerts in Giddings Plaza in Lincoln Square. They are on Thursday evening. Families go down to the square to listen to music and let their children interact with each other.

OK!! You see my curls. Stop taking my picture!!

Keeping Cool in My Pool

I don't want to look at the camera.








Oh!!! The sprinkler is getting me.

I'm sitting in the freezing water.
