For my sister who lives on another continent... some pictures of Aidan

Aidan on his blessing Day


I was informed today by my sister-in-law (it was fun to chat with you!) that Aidan is the number 1 name for 2009... I have decided that not only are we not unique in any way, shape, or form, we are completely and totally one of the masses when it comes to naming our children. I would like to think we are trend setters, but millions of others are setting the same trend at the exact same time as we are... dus, not trend setters. Our kids were born in the late fall... Ava (born 10/06) was the most popular baby name for a girl in 2006 (that did not come out until 2007 mind you) and Ethan (11/03) was the second most popular boy name for 2003 (which again was not public knowledge until 2004, and yes, both of these were after we named our children). Hmmm... next time we are going to have to go with something like Dandylion...I am guessing that won't top any charts...I have some new ones of Aidan smiling Ames ... I will download them sometime when it is not so late :)

Have a good day all!

Dandelion? You better not announce it too soon. It's gonna be on the top of the list by tomorrow! You guys are just so cool that everyone wants to be just like you!

Cute pictures by the way. That little Aidan is getting so big.

Amanda, we at least have to spell it differently, like we did Aidan, not Aiden and we are at the end of the year, so sad as it sounds, I don't think we start the trend :). Catherine, I LOVE YOU- sorry, I am sure someone else would have given me the news at some point!
