Aiden Update

Aiden is doing great, he is three weeks old today and he is such a pleasure to have.. He is weighing in at 9lbs. We are cloth diapering full time and it is going great! He is loving his new fluffy attire.. We are so in love with our new addition.. He is a great sleeper and enjoys his brothers attention..

Watering the flowers


They were so excited to help water the flowers....

Time Fly's

We have been super busy these past three weeks... Aiden is three weeks old today!! yay... we are enjoying him so very much, you forget how amazing it is to have a newborn in your home. Seamus and Jacob are very much in love with him. I was nervous that there would be some jealousy issues but everything just fell into place nicely. They absolutely love helping give Aiden a bath, they each have their own thing they do.. Seamus helps fill up the tub and Jacob helps with passing the face cloth and towel.



Seamus has passed grade one he will be off to second grade in the fall. We are very proud of him. It is a big accomplishment. We are fortunate to have our kids attend a small Rural School. The school is grade 1-9 and it is great that when you walk into the school the staff knows you and your child.. in a good way...not a bad been in the office everyday kind of way.... Seamus is looking forward to a busy Summer.



We are finally full swing into our adventure in cloth diapering and so far things are going great.. I need to add a few more pocket diapers to our stash. As of right now I am washing every evening and we have just enough diapers.. I would like to have the extras for just in cases!! you never know what is going to happen in a house full of boys.... we have come to expect the unexpected...

Canada Day was on July 1st and we had a great day.. and ended with a great fireworks display on the Charlottetown Waterfront.

That is our quick update....

Enjoy them whe they are young


I have been told many times to enjoy my kids when they are young. I try hard to enjoy them but sometimes it can be not so joyous when the laundry is on the go!, the sink is full of dishes, you have stepped on a lego for the third time in one hour and are telling the kids to pick up the toys..


Yesterday we were having a quiet day at home with Baby Aiden I am planning on having many quiet days at home for the next few weeks.. anyhoo.. Jacob was outdoors playing in the clay.. He has a sandbox full of beach sand, but no he has to play in this RED PEI Clay which is so hard to get out of clothing.... When brother Seamus got home from school both of them were in this little spot of clay... 2 boys X clay X the garden hose......
That night as I am getting my kids in and out of the bath and ready for bed... hearing the boys talk about all the mud, and seeing their sleepy little eyes, and the thin layer of red clay going down the drain of the tube.. My kids are enjoying being kids, as long as I continue to pause and take a few moments every day to laugh and connect with my boys about their day I am sure that nothing else will matter.... laundry, toys on the floor, dishes.....
