Happy 10th Birthday, Sir Aidan!
This was an amazing birthday for an amazing boy! Ten is a pretty special number and so for his 10th birthday, Aidan chose to invite the citizens of the School and Adventurer realm to his palace for some festivities. The citizens of the realm came valiantly arrayed in their choice Continue Reading
Farewells and New Starts
This fall marked big changes for the boys. After nearly 7 years of treks to Gym America, we said goodbye to these favorite training grounds and began new classes at Infinity Gymnastics in Brighton. Aidan had decided that he was ready for a break from gymnastics, but Alex and Lucas’ Continue Reading
Aidan’s Merry Violin Season
As a part of his seventh birthday, Aidan began violin lessons last April. He’d been wanting to learn the violin for several years. Since we knew a couple friends who took lessons, we had a recommendation of a great Suzuki teacher, and he’s been doing group and private lessons each Continue Reading
Matthai Botanical Gardens
This weekend Alex and Papa were up at Camp AuSable for the Father/Son retreat. So since we had some time today as a little crew, we tried to make Sabbath extra special with a winter afternoon outing to one of our favorite nature destinations. Weather was warm, we almost didn’t Continue Reading
Our Ninja Warrior
Aidan and Alexander are both back in gymnastics this year, and recently completed the first Ninja Warrior Challenge at their gym. Aidan loves gymnastics, and had a blast doing these little obstacle courses. We put together a fun collage for him, and thought we’d share. Bravo Aidan, Mission Accomplished!
Christmastime Wonderweek- Christmas Program Sabbath
Last Sabbath evening was a special night for Aidan as he took part in the Christmas Cantata over at the Ann Arbor Church. To be honest, this program has been a little bit of a struggle for us. Last year, I didn’t have the children participate in the A2 program, Continue Reading
Five-tastic
Aidan is five years old! Such a noble little age for our mellow little boy. He’d had quite the gala just a couple of weeks before, but his birthday Monday was preceded by the Adventurer fun day (just an hour or so from Grammy & Grampapa’s) and he requested Continue Reading
New Days with Two
It’s been a strange adjustment having Alexander at school and back to only two little ones home. But after weeks and weeks we’re settling into our routines and enjoying new days and alone time with our two little brothers. After worship and the ‘big boys’ depart, Aidan, Lucas & Continue Reading
Three on a trike
Look at you, Aidan on this trike. You can pedal so fast now, even trying the ‘big boy’ bike from time to time. You love that ‘Speed’ helmet from Grammy & Grampapa. You love riding from campsite to campsite, and just touring the grounds. Muma loves to watch you zoom Continue Reading
