I Love You
Lilly really wants to hold her baby brother so with the right set up I let her do it. Funny how he looks to be as big as she is! I cant believe how interested Aidan is in her! He loves to watch what she is doing and always has a smile for her - I hope that is how it will always be.

The Fecal Matter
I spent waaay too much time deciding what to call this blog... I tried a few out like "Fun with Feces!", "De-throned" and "Our new Oubliette" but decided that the one up top was probably fine and would get some attention however udeserved it may be. Yes you could say I am not getting out much...
On Friday I had planned to clean up the house - things are far behind and I wanted to get something accomplished other than laundry this weekend. I got a bunch of stuff done upstairs and went to the main floor to put something away and discovered a trail of water in front of the basement door. I traced it back and found that the bathroom floor was covered in water as well. I thought the toilet had overflowed so I carefully checked it out. Nope not that. Then I had a thought but I called Drew first. I asked if he had used the main bathroom that morning and he said no. I checked the bowl and the water shut off and said to him that it appeared that the water was coming from under the toilet. Yay that means whatever kind of gasket is on the toilet it was no longer working. Great. Drew immediately rushed home while I checked on the computer in the basement as it unluckily sits below the bathroom. Thank goodness no damage just a couple drips! It appeared we had caught the problem in time. So that began our day and night of removing the toilet replacing the worn out rubber gasket with a wax one and fixing the toilet tank as it was leaking into the bowl as well. Drew did a great job and has become quite the handyman around the house!
I am really rethinking this whole desire to have a clean house deal... EVERY time we have done a thorough job on some part of the house it breaks. No kidding.

The Aidan Update
Little boy has been busy today! He has discovered, you guessed it, his FEET! "What are thost things?" he asks himslef while grabbing his legs to get them closer. What fascinating appendages those feet are today!
Aidan had also begun to roll over from back to front today - he has been trying this over the past couple weeks with a few successes but today he did id twice on purpose. He just has to get his arms out the way. :)
We think that we will also have quite a talker in Aidan as he is also jabbering up a storm when he is playing on teh floor. Sometimes I have to run back andcheck to see if he is crying or not!
more later!

it's gonna be one of those weeks...
Drew came home sick with a cold on the weekend, then was off on Monday as he was so tired and yuck he stayed in bed for most of the day... I was hoping to come out unscathed but now Lilly is sick and miserable and now I am getting it too... Baby just started barfing today... *sigh* here we go into the winter season. Quick get a truckload of vitamin C!

Tricycle, tricycle!
Yesterday we found a new place in the city to get recycled bikes. It is called Recylce Cycle. People can drop off bikes and volunteers there will service them and resell them to people at a low cost. It is great! We were able to find Lilly a new trike and here she is on it!Matching of the helmet and bike is completely coincidental!
Daddy and Lilly are adjusting the seat on the new trike! (Note: Lilly is holding the 3 in 1 ha ha!)Off and going! Still have not figured out how to work the pedals yet but that will come.
