Aidan not cooperating for a picture. It was suppose to be for the Christmas card. Didn't happen.
Ok, so I vowed that I would keep you more up to date on Aidan's doings and life in the Parkinson household but alas, I haven't. Life has been crazy!! We are busy as usual living and playing and just being family!! So personal New Year's Resolution is to update this on a more frequent basis!! I love to read other's blogs and to know what is happening in their lives, and can imagine that everyone feels the same. So on with our update!!
Since posting last there have been many changes. The biggest being that John is now working ONE (yes you read that correctly) job!! We are all very excited for him and he is loving it. UPS has been very good to him. He made it through peak which was interesting to say the least. He worked at least 12 hours everyday.
Aidan has been talking more and more everyday. He is more easily understood now!! I have been finding that I say to him "I don't understand what you are saying" less and less everyday!! It's great, but he talks A LOT!! I wonder where he got that from?!!!! He is growing like a weed and is always busy doing something.
I have been busy starting my own Arbonne business and enjoying my days with Aidan. I have had the last few weeks off of my nanny gig because they are out of town with Christmas and such. The church job is on break until the beginning of January so I have been sleeping in and enjoying not having any commitments. Ahh for a break.
Ok, now that you have an update on our family, how about Christmas? We had a great Christmas. Busy, but good. We had Christmas with John's parents on Sunday before and Christmas Eve here at home (John worked until 9:30pm) and Christmas morning at my mom's and the afternoon at John's Grandma's up on Whidbey Island. We did our usual ordering pizza and watching the Christmas cartoons on Christmas Eve. Aidan isn't quite into the cartoon's unless its Bob the Builder or Elmo at this point. He really got into Christmas this year!! He got EVERYTHING he asked for!! All but movies. That's ok, those are easy to buy him. Besides like I just mentioned he doesn't watch much besides Bob and Elmo. Silly boy. John and I were just cleaning off our desk and realized that everything we put on our lists (all but one on each) we got as well!! We feel very blessed that we recieved the gifts we needed/wanted.
We also felt very blessed to be able to give to everyone something on their lists with the exception of our brother-in-law. A few of his wish items were a cruise for 7-days 6-nights for 2. A new 2008 diesel truck of some sort, new motorcycle tires, and that's just a few. John and I laughed because my mom had told him to make a list of things he wanted...he didn't hold back. That made shopping for him tricky. Dart boards always work when you can't think of anything else!!
So we have had a busy holiday season and are looking forward to celebrating the New Year with friends and Aidan will be having an overnight party with John's parents. Keep checking back for updates. Please help me hold fast to my resolution to blog more!!! It's a great way to keep updated on life of others as well as letting others know about what is going on in ours.
