Dramatic Pause

OK not so dramatic...just thought I'd give you an update! We are house sitting for Max the Wonder Dog this week, and I keep forgetting to take pictures. Also, the motherboard on my laptop crashed Tuesday night and I just had it fixed today. So hopefully this weekend we'll be posting more pictures!

I heart Trumpette

In a previous post, I talked about my love for Trumpette Socks. Aidan has had more than his fair share, and when he outgrows them, they still look like the day I bought them.

Unfortunately, one of his new pairs started to fall apart after the first washing. I called the company and they said they would send me a replacement pair. They lied. THEY SENT ME A WHOLE NEW BOX! Unbelievable!

There are so many places that have horrible customer service, so I want to tell as many people as possible about my great experience. Next time you're looking for a baby gift, buy Trumpette socks!!!

Opening Day 2009

We LOOOOOVE Opening Day! This year was fun because our Nugget could finally wear his Royals jersey! Here are some family pictures. (For pictures of the new ballpark, visit my facebook page)

Happy Birthday, Chase!

Happy 14th Birthday, Chase! I love you!!

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming...

So let's just say that technology and I have not been having a great relationship the last few weeks. My laptop crashed, and I had to tear it completely down and put everything back on it. Luckily, all of my pictures were saved, and I continued taking Daily Aidans during our hiatus. I'll use this week to catch up. Enjoy!

OMG

My new favorite website...

Valentine Party

Today was Aidan's Valentine Party at Kindermusik. He loved seeing all of his friends, opening his Valentine bag, and finding fun stuff to play with! I think his favorite part was the bag that everything came in:)

Multi-Piano Rehearsals

Today was the day for our Multi-Piano rehearsals.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the event, it is a concert at KU in Lawrence each year, sponsored by the Kansas City Music Teachers Association. About 500 local students and teachers are involved in this amazing event that places 18 grand pianos and 36 people on stage at a time. We all play duets together under the direction of a conductor. Because I love duets so much, this event is near and dear to my heart. I have been on the repertoire committee for several years, and this year am in charge of the event. (I know. Tell me I need to add something ELSE to my plate!) Anyway, I spent 12 hours at the Toon Shop in Prairie Village and this was what it looked like!

If you're interested in attending, the concerts are Sunday, February 15 at 2:00 and 4:00pm at the Lied Center. Tickets (general admission) are $5. Hope to see you there!

Happy Birthday, Emily!

Happy 12th Birthday, Emily!
We love you!!
Uncle Aaron, Auntie Amy, and Aidan

Productivity

I'm having one of those days. Ever have them?
Yesterday I got a million things done. Aidan napped like a champ. All was right with the world.
Today? Today I have so much to do, I can't see straight. Aidan's not sleeping. I have so much to do, I don't know where to start. I have so much to do, I will probably not get anything done. Except maybe cry.

Aidan's on the net

check it out - our photographer made a great slideshow of all of her Christmas pictures. Of course, Aidan is topless:) My friend Amber says it's his Jennifer Aniston cover look.
(Be patient...his picture is almost at the end of the song. Meanwhile, look at all of those cute babies!!)

New pictures of our BOY

What do you think???

Creepy!

I saw this on a blog last week and for some reason I can't stop looking at it! Creepy!

Out of the mouths of babes...

During Alec's piano lesson today:
Miss Amy: "Alec, what should I be for Halloween?"
Alec (thoughtfully): "I think you should be a pop star."
Miss Amy: "A pop star, huh. Like Britney Spears?"
Alec: "Yeah, but one that didn't ruin her life."

Date Night

9/1/08 - Our self portrait before going out to M&S Grill for date night

Dear Satan,
You really shouldn't have invented these socks:

Sincerely,

Amy Pennington

Update

So the only thing worse than your baby being sick is your baby being sick while you yourself are sick. YUCK.
Aidan is feeling better today but I took a turn for the worse. Hopefully we'll both be feeling better soon!

Bad Blogger

I know...I've been a horrible blogger! A unique recipe that combines the holiday weekend, new laptop quirks, Aaron traveling, and back-to-work craziness has put me way behind. I promise to add lots of pictures in the next day or so!!

This is too cool...my student Lindsey is one of nine finalists to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at a Royals game September 20. Please vote for her - she deserves to win!!
