Airport
One of Aaron's favorite thing about our trip to DC was going to watch the airplanes land. About a month or two ago Caleb was explaining to Aaron that he was going to fly on an airplane. Well, he talked about riding on an airplane all that week. He loves airplanes and after our last visit up there and Aaron enjoyed the museum at the airport Mike and Megan thought Aaron would love going to watch them land. There is a park right below where they land. I thought it was really cool too.

DC
A few weeks ago we went to DC to see our great friends the Blackers and meet baby Reid. He is a good little boy and a cutie. Mike and Megan are doing a GREAT job as parents and it so neat to see them in that role. I hope that our visit with them wasn't overwhelming. We were very fortunate to go up there with the Sisterhen's as well and Dereks very generous parents let us stay with them as well. We had a great weekend and can't wait to see Reid grow up.
The new family
Lydia and Reid. I bet he will be bigger than her in 4 months, even though they are about 8 months apart in age.
Lydia trying to get Reid. Is there anything wrong with going ahead and doing an arranged marriage? I know he will be a great guy.
Aaron also LOVED Reid. He did really well with him and continues to talk about seeing baby Reid.
Long time no post....
First I need to apologize to Ashley. I know I told you I would post and I failed. Please forgive me. My weak excuse, besides my 3 kids (CALEB, Aaron and Lydia) is that Caleb and I are building built in bookshelves. They are coming along very well, but are taking up A LOT of time. We have spent most of our free time over the past 2 weeks doing them. I have done tons of painting and used a power drill a ton on Saturday. Just a few finishing touches and final coat of paint and we will be all done. If I can say so myself...they look good! I will post pictures when we finish. Hopefully it will be real soon b/c I can't wait to cover them with Christmas decorations!!!
I have been sitting here trying to make a photo book that you can get online for free for the past 45 minutes and all I have to show for it are 3 photos uploaded. After much frustration, I have decided to give up. Free is nice...ok great...but there is so much I would rather be and should be doing right now. Only if the site wasn't stupid and slow. But here is a link to info if anyone else wants to try.

In other news, I took Lydia to the doctor today for her 9 month check up. 9 MONTHS...I can't believe it. Anyways, she is doing well. She weighed in at 16 lbs 7 oz. This brings her to the 25%tile. We are finally growing. But I am still putting 3 month clothes (read pants) on her. She is around the 40-50th %tile for height. She is a long skinny thing. She has mastered the army crawl and is getting into everything. Her favorite thing is to try to get Aaron's match box cars, crawl through Aaron's tunnel (pics to come), play with door stops (Aaron use to love these too), and go for any cord. Today (after I fell down the stairs...again...but I'm ok, just limping b/c my knee hurts) I found her under our end table between the couches trying to get the lamp cord. She is really cute now (when she's not screaming according to Caleb).
Aaron is also doing good. He loves Lydia still and gets excited when she wakes up until she tries to take his toys. He says "no Lydia" a lot. One thing I never expected before having kids is how much your life revolves around poop. I mean seriously, besides having to change dirty diapers you got to worry about when they last pooped, are they constipated (a common problem for our two...sorry TMI), and what does it look like. Its worst when they are babies, but the obsession continues. Anyways, to my point. Thankfully Aaron has been pooping in the potty for a while, at least most of the time. He went like a big boy yesterday then we sent him upstairs to get a clean diaper. A couple of minutes later he yells down that he went poppy. I responded with "I know you went poppy in the potty". He returns with "I go poppy in my room". As I go upstairs Caleb reminds me to "be nice" (which was a needed reminder) then I find a trail of poop in the hall and in his room. Luckily, he was a little constipated so they weren't too messy. I have changed way too many poopy diapers and clothes when the diaper was not enough. I really don't understand how they can get poop coming out of the neck of their clothes. I'm sidetracking again. So, now I add cleaning poop off the floor to my list. I have to admit...out of the tub was worst. At least he doesn't play with it like I've heard some kid do, but I will say a quick prayer for those parents.
Now that I have written a book I will try to get some pictures up too. I have a lot to blog about, I just haven't.

Lydia's dedication
We had Lydia dedicated at church last Sunday and some people over for lunch after. It went very well. Caleb read a few verses for her from Psalm 119. It was neat too b/c Will has now dedicated both of our kids. Here are a few pictures. Lydia was soooo cute. My Aunt Brenda (who isn't a real Aunt but my god mother) got her the gorgeous dress when she was born. I didn't think she would be 9 months before she could wear it, but it was perfect and she looked adorable.
