Well it's been a really great weekend here for us in St. Louis. We really didn't have much planned so we were able to hang around the house, get some stuff done and hang out with our boys. There's so much to talk about that I'll break it up tonight into parts:
First up: Family!
Well, with great excitement we have put in plans to travel to Mexico again next year to
Azul Beach Resort! As many of you know, we had a fabulous vacation there in 2008 and we are
soooooo excited to go back. This time with two boys! The size of the resort, the beach
palapas and the great food will surely satisfy our winter blues next April!
Next, today we did the church thing in the morning and the boys were WONDERFUL! Aidan nicely watched a little boy in front of us while Ethan slept for awhile and then woke up to have some quiet awake time! We came home and took a few pictures by our flowers and "fall stuff" on the porch.
Next: Daddy!
So Daddy got a little wild this weekend and decided to reorganize the basement for about the 5th time. Now that our main room is done, I figured we can kinda get things "settled" for awhile. That meant moving some things around, donating some things to Goodwill and reassembling our huge desk that used to be in our den upstairs. Talking to my Dad today I realized that I've never posted the "final" shot of our room downstairs with all the Ikea furniture that we got. Sorry Dad, you're probably the most important person that was involved in this room...don't know why I missed that! I took these tonight without flash, so they are a little grainy.
So the next thing for Daddy is a sour one. Friday and Saturday we had a lot of rain...a lot. That typically softens the soil and lets the moles have a field day on my yard. Well, they are back: Code Red. They are in the front yard. So what do
we do...you get my big boy to go out there and "Stomp down some mole hills!" Yeah, Aidan! (Note: I put down some poison worms and I didn't see any activity today, fingers crossed)

Now, Mommy:
Well, I don't have much on Mommy that's because she's the most busy, most loving and nurturing person in the whole place. She's so busy all the time, feeding babies, doing bills, doing laundry, so for this spot, we'll just pause and tell our Mommy that we love her and we thank her for all she does to keep the Frost Family Adventure flying high...here are a few shots with her little "Milk Man".

OK, Aidan:Gosh where do we start? That little man is so fun right now. He's doing great learning stuff all the time. Tonight at dinner he told us about wheels, and then said that wheels go around and around and that wheels are circles. This cognitive connection stuff that he's starting is so cool. He's getting to the point where we're teaching him how to spell his full name (he knows his first already), where he lives, and what his phone number is. Also, at church last week and I'm bummed that I didn't capture it but taking a picture while Mr. Boring Priest (you know the one Grammy T) is going on probably would have us damned to you know where. I digress, on his
Magna-doodle he drew, clearly, a trolley engine. It had the rectangular shape, windows, and four sets of wheels...he also had the
bow collector drawn too! (Betcha didn't know what that was did you)
Friday night we found a cheap soccer set at Target that included a ball and net...he played and played with it and was scoring goals like
Christiano Ronaldo (Betcha didn't know who he is either, right? 2008's World's Best Soccer Player) Here he is doing his best
GOOOALLL!
So any case, he's really getting to be a lot of fun and we're loving every minute of it!
Finally, Ethan:
This baby, I'll tell you...what a dream. Such a good boy, at this point he's very predictable, which is about the best thing you can say about a 3 and a half month-er. He's got his times where he's awake, happy and alert, others that he takes great naps (this afternoon nearly 4 hours!) and then just a personality that is so infectious..he just makes you smile and the HE smiles! Great stuff.
First, we got him the Bumbo tray for his Bumbo that we've been starting. He looks around, reaches for a few things and if you're lucky and quick you get a couple of smiles.

Next, Tummy Time. Aidan was not a big fan of Tummy Time (as most babies aren't) but Ethan does pretty good with it. He usually fusses when he gets tired, but for the first couple of minutes he's loving it. An important milestone is 90 degrees heads up laying flat...and...he's...got...it!
Today was beautiful here and since it was probably the last day of 80 degree weather, we broke Ethan's little summer dude outfit that Auntie Elizabeth got him and hung out on the deck.
Hey, thanks for reading through this tonight...it's been a fun weekend, hope you enjoyed yours. And way to go Cardinals, the 2009 National League Central Division Champions!!!
Ty, Emmy, Aidan and Ethan
