Catching up

Yes I know - I've been slacking off when it comes to posting. I'd like to be able to blame pregnancy brain, pregnancy fatigue, etc. but I've just been a slacker! So, here's a big update:

Trip to Niagara Falls and Marineland:
We took the boys to Niagara Falls and had a blast. It was raining the whole time we were at Niagara, but we were prepared with raincoats, boots and umbrellas so it was no problem. The boys were real troopers and did a ton of walking. I have to say, I'm not sure which impressed them more: the spectacular falls, or all the puddles they jumped in!

The next day we met Kenneth and Keiran at Marineland and had great time seeing the whales, dolphins, seals, etc. The rides were also a big hit, but poor Quinn was a little sad because he was too small to go on a lot of them.

Trip to Cinci:
Following the Niagara Falls / Marineland adventure the boys and I took off for Cinci, while Chris stayed behind to work on the basement with his dad. The kids had a great time in Cinci visiting the Children's museum, aquarium, parks, etc. Of course, they also had a blast visiting Nanna, Nannu and Uncle Steven - they still haven't stopped talking about them!!!

Aidan's starting JK!!
Yep, Aidan starts junior Kindergarten tomorrow. We go in the morning for an interview with his teacher and then he spends the afternoon there with about half of his classmates. He seems to be very excited about his 'big boy' school, so hopefully he'll have no problem with the transition. I'm very excited, and apprehensive as well. I can't believe that my little guy is starting school already! It's strange because even though he's been in daycare since he's been one, this just seems like such a big milestone for him. Sigh.....

Pregnancy update:
The child is busier than ever, and seems to take perverse pleasure in constantly moving around in my belly. At my last ultrasound she was breach, and I have another ultrasound tomorrow to check on her position. Hopefully the little monkey has flipped! My body certainly seems to be preparing for the big day - the Braxton Hicks contractions have been coming on something fierce in the last week or so. Hopefully this child's not getting any ideas of an early entry into the world!
