Ayden Phones Dad!
So I got a phone message from my son today.. and here’s how it went. it was awesome!!!
Ayden's Baptism!
Well today marks a big step in Ayden’s life. Today, Sunday July 19, 2009 Ayden was Baptised at Calvin Presbyterian Church in Kitchener. This is the same church that Mark and I were married at! We had such a wonderful service filled with friends and family. Ayden was extremly well behaved during the service. When he was in Minister Mark’s arms being baptised he just stared at Minister Mark with such caring and curious eyes. There was a part in the prayer that really stuck out in my mind…when the Minister was holding Ayden, he said something to the effect of…we are so blessed to have you here with us. Since all that Ayden and our family has been though, this brought a tear to my eye. Mark and I spent the last two days getting ready for this...
strong eyes
Well yesterday Ayden and I had to go back to hamilton for another eye appointment. The last appointments have been aweful as Ayden had to be restrained and things were stuck in his eyes to make sure that growth was happening properly.

Then she turned off the light in the room and looked in Ayden’s eyes with a bright light. She turned back on the lights and said, he is doing just great. Muscles are developing properly, see you in 6 months. I was...
Ayden's First… Popcicle!!!!
Now, I know what your saying.. isn’t it bad to give a young child of Ayden’s age anything but formula as he can get allergies or even rot the teeth that are deep within his gums? But I’ve been trying to give Ayden all manner of “grown-up” food unsuccessfully, shot down by Mom – for Ayden’s well being of course. But tonight I come home to see mom eating a green Popsicle and after our ‘welcome homes’ she walks over to Ayden and says well think he’d like some of this.. and touches his tongue with the Popsicle! Now I’ll admit the little tike just loved it and I wish I had some of the stellar faces he made on film. He would smile and then stick his tongue out again – and again and again…...
