Happy Birthday!!

Today is Aidan's 4th birthday. Daddy called and asked Aidan where he wanted to go to lunch for his special day. 'Dad, it's not my special day, it's my birffday...I wanna go to Old McDonalds' (That is McDonalds in Aidan language.) So off we went to Old McDonalds...and low and behold the toys in the Happy Meal were from Pirates (he will not see it, but he is in love with everything Pirates). He got a Treasure Chest with a key and Coda got a Telescope with light up red eyes...that must have been what I paid $3 each for, since the food is never anything to speak of.

This is a picture of Aidan when he was about a week old. Oh how they grow. While the boys were playing at McDonalds, Nick and I were reminicing about Aidan's birth. It seems like just yesterday. Sitting in the stands at the Crab's baseball game, rocking during each contraction, eating Nachos, stopping in the middle of the road on the way back to the car and making the ultimate decision, THIS IS IT!!! Spending 8 hours in labor, knowing I was going to have a c-section (he was breech) and LOVING every minute of it, yes I am nuts and no I did not have any pain medication. At one point I kicked Nick out of the room, because he fell asleep, poor guy! Seeing Nick in those purple scrubs, oh the sight. And seeing my baby boy for the first time, so small and so precious. Looking into Nicks eyes and knowing that this was 'our' son, forever. It was that day 4 years ago that we became a family. Our lives changed forever with his birth, Thank you Aidan!
