My card reader rocks! It is about the size of a small Swiss army knife, seriously it’s smaller than my pinkie! It works fabulously, and here are my pictures to prove it!

Here are the munchkins at the pumpkin patch. They both look so happy, don’t they?! Oh, well what can I say…I tried! Tater had a blast on all the rides and running around the farm, but a poorly planned timing on my part had Aidan asleep before he could enjoy anything! He slept for an hour or so, then woke up and romped around in the hay jump with Mommy and Dad-Oh.

He didn’t quite know what to think…Dad-Oh did manage to get one cute picture of Aidan and Mommy before he dosed off to dreamland:

Today we took Aidan to the children’s museum to let him play with other children and have a fun day, but unfortunately he took a spill head first and got a bump on his little noggin and never quite recovered. Then we spent the rest of the day trying to navigate downtown Seattle and trying to get Dad-Oh’s six pack license renewed. And of course we had no luck because the people we talked to on the phone were idiots and told us the wrong info and he cannot proceed with the renewal process until he gets a physical and pee test. Which was not what we were told on the phone! ERRR. So the fun filled agenda for tomorrow includes peeing in a cup and having the ole turn and cough routine. Fun vay-cay, huh?! Then hopefully we can proceed to the coast guard to start the six month renewal process. Good times for all, especially Dad-Oh! I can’t quit on that note…so here you are:

I know my three loyal readers are eager for an update, so I’ll write a teeny bit before heading for bed.

We made it to Seattle, obviously. We left Sitka on the most perfect day to leave, it was rainy, windy and just plain nasty. After some serious turbulence taking off in Sitka and taking off and landing in Ketchikan we arrived to beautiful sunny skies and 60 degrees! It’s beautiful here!

Auntie Manda, Dick and Tater made it down yesterday and we hit the pumpkin patch and a VERY disappointing Benihana’s. More on that later. We will NO LONGER let Dick pick our food venue!

To make a long story short our girls day was cut very short! Thanks to husbands who cannot function on their own. We did manage to get the BEST mani-pedis of our lives! I love it when they do good cuticle work.

I forgot my USB camera cable so I had to buy a card reader at Best Buy today. Otherwise my poor three readers would be without pictures for two whole weeks! See how good I am to you!

Unfortunately, the pictures will have to wait because I forgot the card reader in the fun bus van. Hey! Gimme a break I can’t do everything right!

That’s all for now…and YES I intend to finish Aidan’s Month 15 post!

I made it! One whole year of blogging! It was one year ago today, that I decided that mass emails containing pictures and various Aidan updates was not going to cut it. I was getting overwhelmed with people not being able to open attachments, wondering why they were left out of the email loop, and wanting me to send pictures in different formats. It was crazy making! So I took a leap and created my first blog on wordpress, since then I have obtained my very own domain name and own a little piece of Internet heaven!

I never thought I would become so consumed with blogging. I have met so many wonderful Mommy friends that have helped me along the path of parenting. People that I have never even met, have let me into their lives and shared the good and bad of being a Mommy. It has been an amazing resource! And I thank you, you, you and you (okay, so I have met you two). Dooce remains my true blogging inspiration. Her ability to find humor in the most tragic of scenarios is a trait I wish I could call my own.

I virtually hold my glass up and give cheers to you all–here’s to another year of a wonderful life!
