Aidan Graduates from Preschool

Our little Aidan is growing up so fast! His class rehearsed a very cute song about their favorite Super Kids characters. They also made posters of what they wanted to be when they grew up.



Each kid stepped our in front of all the parents and described their poster. After several other kids presented police man, fire man and football player, Aidan got up and said he wanted to be...



There were very few dry eyes in the room, especially his Daddy's.








Then Ms. Tammy presented him with his diploma and declared him an official Kindergartener!

Aidan at the Tai Kwon Do Tournament

Aidan competed in a Tai Kwon Do tournament this weekend with over twenty students from his class. They performed punches, kicks and blocks as a group and were rated by the judges. His class won third place out of four groups.

They competed in a "bopper" competition where they battled one on one and got points for hits and blocks. Out of 16 kids at his level, he ended up with second place and won a silver medal!

Nationals vs. Braves

Wearing their Nationals hats and little league team shirts, we set out for a Nationals game at RFK Stadium. Both boys brought their gloves, just in case a ball came our way. Though the Nats lost, our most exciting moment came when a foul ball was caught by a fan just four rows in front of us!



Here are the boys at a Nationals game in September 2006.


Here they are again at a Nationals game in August 2005.

Mother's Day Dinner

We celebrated Mother's Day with Laurie's favorite dinner... Lobster! After letting them crawl around on the floor for a while, we dropped them into to pot of boiling beer to simmer until they turned bright red.

The boys each polished off a 1 1/2 pounder with no trouble at all. Aidan saved a claw shell for Show and Tell at school.

At school, Connor and Aidan each made cards and grew flowers for Mom.
