Six

These are the first digital pictures I have of Aiden, at about a year old, because that's when we got a digital camera. The scanner won't work, so we'll have to deal with it...
This is Aiden in Ghana. It's one of my favorites.

Aiden's first camping trip. She collected lots of sticks. And kept trying to get in the water.
Riding the "Make Way For Ducklings" ducks in Boston Common.
Opening presents on her first birthday in our CRAZY first apartment in West Hartford.
AND NOW:
Riding the horse at the children's museum at the Gateway in Utah.


Marching band with Jimmy.


With cousin Tillie, don't they look alike?

How has it been 6 years since my sweet little Aiden came into the world? After being in labor for about a day and a half, my contractions stopped for a few hours. At about 11:30pm my water broke, I woke Lewis up, called everyone and headed off to the hospital. After 4 hours of intense pain, I got an epidural and 4 hours later Miss Aiden made her grand entrance. She let us know she had some serious business to get to and didn't do much sleeping. In fact, sleeping has never been one of her strong points, but we love her anyway. She is becoming such a great kid. And makes sure to let us know that she is "the shortest in her class. And the smartest."
