The Gift of Time

I'm not sure what you're supposed to receive as your second anniversary gift (I think the 1st anniversary is supposed to be paper), but Mike and I had a theme for our gifts this year--we each got each other a timepiece! I bought Mike a watch he'd had his eye on, and he gave me the Kit Cat Clock I'd always wanted--the one where the eyes and tail move! I can't wait until I have a kitchen to hang it in.
To my surprise, Mike didn't stop there--he also gave me the jewelry box that matches the frame our wedding photo is in. I'm a lucky girl with a thoughtful husband :)
Today, we're taking an in-town vacation; Mike's mom got us a hotel room for the evening, and we've got dinner reservations at Marcella's as well as (weather permitting) plans to hit the go-carts (or "Good Clean Fun" as Mike calls it). Should be good times, but it's the first time we'll not have Aiden with us overnight. He'll be in Mimi's good hands, however, so no worries!

Better Video

I completely forgot that my digital camera takes movies! This should be a bit better quality than the previously posted movie. Aiden's not really doing much here, but you can see that he can now reach the dangling items on his jungle-gym (and he seems quite shocked about that). In other news, I also was lucky enough to hear a full-fledged laugh tonight instead of his typical giggle, and that made me laugh, which in turn made him laugh harder. I can't think of a better way to spend a Friday night!

It's a Boy!

Just wanted to say CONGRATS to my in-laws, Jeff & Sara Cotter--they just found out yesterday that they'll be having a BOY in October! They've decided to name him Christopher Patrick. Mike, Aiden and I are very excited to welcome him to the family!

Two Years Down...

...forever to go! I love you more everyday, Mike! I couldn't ask for a better husband and father to our baby! You are my world!!!

Only 89 days...

...until OSU football is back! As you can see, Aiden is ready--he's already practicing his "O-H!"
