Bath time

Bath time has become quite an event in our house and I just wanted to document it in pictures.  The last ones are with the 30 (thirty!) cars Aaron brings into the car every night.

Peter and Amanda's wedding

We just got back from Peter and Amanda's wedding in Spencer, MA, where Aaron played a pivotal role as one of the ring bearers.  Prior to the ceremony, he seemed to take the job very seriously.  We practiced at home and at my mom's prior to going and he knew it cold.  When we got to the location, he got all fancied up in his outfit, which matched cousin Reuben's (a fact that Aaron was thrilled about!).

The boys were completely unable to keep their shirts tucked in.  No one noticed (except my mom), because the kids were so cute walking down the aisle.  Reuben held the little ones' hands until Aaron broke free, hid the ring pillow behind his back, and sidled/sashayed down the aisle.

The kids also had a great time at the reception.  They ran around like crazies, laughed, ate candy and wore themselves out completely.  We were able to get a good "three kids on a couch" picture and some of them in action, thanks to cousin Andrew.

A pox on our house

Aaron has the chicken pox. He has had the first of the vaccines but some kids still get a mild form of it. He had what I thought were mosquito bites a few days ago that then developed into the classic vesicles on a red base yesterday morning. He is out of school all week so he doesn't give it to everyone else. Luckily, he is not febrile, has no belly pain and is acting like his normal self.

I took him to the park yesterday and he demonstrated some of his deft sword fighting skills.
