Aiden is definitey trying to escape in this picture but doesn't it look like he is patting Chris's back, as if to say "it's okay, I'll let you out too!"


Aiden and his big red ball.



Chris giving me the look that he doesn't want any more pictures taken!



Chris pulling himself up on our basket of toys while Aiden plays with his favorite ball which is larger than he is!



My post is later than usual this week and for good reason... It has been hard to get good pictures to post. Since the boys are on the move ALL the time, all that I see is the backs of their heads... literally! As such, I thought it was important to include a few of those in today's selections.

We have had a great week. Aiden, Chris and I took a trip to Amherst to visit our friends at Umass in the Financial Aid department. The boys did great in the car and loved meeting everyone again. They definitely loved all of the attention that they got and I also enjoyed seeing everyone again.

Grammie Hopkins and our friend Mollyn from Sweden came over to watch the boys on Tuesday so I could get out to do our weekly shopping and errands. As always, I loved the change of pace and Aiden and Chris were happy campers to see a different face for a while.

Yesterdays rain had us all a bit stir crazy but we have been making up for it today, going for two long walks! Last night the boys had an extended bedtime. We went to visit Grammie & Grampie Hopkins and our friends from Sweden for a bit then headed over to our pediatrician's for the boys second flu shot and first swine flu vaccine. There has been so much debate about the swine flu vaccine but we did some research and asked some of our medical friends and family members and decided to get the shot while the vaccine is still available. Chris and Aiden did phenomenal! They were troopers and did great getting not one but two shots (one in each leg) and did great coming home an hour later than their bedtime, still going right to bed. What good boys! Nap time is over for I am back to being an on-duty mom :)
