Sorry it's been so long. Life caught up with me. There are so many things I need to tell you all about! Where to start...
Well, I guess I'll start with everyones favorite topic, AIDEN!
He's grown up way too much! He had a check up the other day and has grown 1 inch and 1 pound in 3 months!! We signed Aiden up for a first steps soccer program. His first practice was last Saturday. We were very impressed with how well he did. He listen to the coach and Daniel very well. He had so much fun! It's a 6 week program with a game on the last day. I got my video camera fixed just in time!
Aiden also started Preschool! Well it's more like Pre preschool, 2 days a week for 2.5 hours. I was really excited to get him back into something where he'd be playing with kids his age and learning new things! First day of school I walked him to his class and he was ready to go in without saying goodbye or giving me a kiss. Not only was I sad because my baby is so grown up, but I was so happy because he wasn't scared and felt very comfortable. He's already made friends and comes home talking about them and can't wait to see them when we're on our way to school! He has come home with only good reports! Daniel and I chose this program because not only did we think it would be a good transition into a school routine but he will also be learning Japanese! He can count to 5 already! Twice a month his Japanese teachers aide teaches culture day where they will eat Japanese food, learn words, and songs, and do a Japanese craft! We will definitely keep everyone posted on Aiden's new adventures in school!!
As for Daniel and I, we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! I had my tonsils removed. Not fun at all! I was down about ten days with no voice and then started feeling better and came down with a horrible cold that put me out about another week. Daniel is now working weekends which kind of stinks, but he'll soon be on leave!
My jewelry has been accepted as a vendor in the on base gift shop!! I'm totally excited about this! I've had quite a few sales lately and am working on a custom order for a woman's wedding jewelry!! 5 bracelets, earrings and a necklace! You should all check out Etsy, they make for great gifts!!
I'll leave you with some photos from the past 3 months!
