19 Weeks - Baby Riedel #2


Boy or Girl?

This is the question on our minds lately, and probably yours too! Our ultrasound is scheduled for Friday, October 4th at 8:30 a.m. We will be finding out but not told that morning. We will be asking the technician to write the gender down on a piece of paper and place it into a sealed envelope. I will then be handing it off to my friend Berit who will be putting together our "reveal package". We are hosting a Gender Reveal Brunch on Saturday, October 5th at 10:30 a.m. for our area friends and family. It will be tough to wait but well worth it. Once it's been revealed we will be sure to share the news - what's your guess?

St. Paul Bike Classic & Oma's 60th Birthday Party!

In keeping with tradition our family participated in the St. Paul Bike Classic on Sunday, September 8th. The bike ride was followed by Oma's 60th birthday party, which was attended by well over 50 friends and family. It was an especially successful day because the Lions beat the Vikings! ***Please note, this last statement is not supported by Aaron :-).

The Fall is a very busy time for Jewish community, as we celebrate several holidays. These are pictures of Aidan & Daddy attending the Rosh Hashanah children's service.

Labor Day Weekend 2013


We had a great Labor Day weekend. Aaron was traveling for work last week in Florida, so we spent most of the weekend just catching up on family time. On Sunday morning we tried a new bakery and then took Aidan to his FIRST "movie theater" movie - Disney's Planes. He did GREAT! He sat through the entire movie, shared Dad's popcorn and followed the plot line. We were so proud of our big & brave boy.

Petita Babies!


That's right friends - we're going plural. We will be welcoming baby #2 in February 2014. I will do my best to stay more on top of things in the coming months so you can continue to enjoy the many adventures of Aidan but also stay up-to-date on this sweet baby growing inside.

Cheese!

That face...

When given the choice Aidan would pick splashing in puddles over a bounce house, any day.

Visiting with Friends

Last weekend the Weliwitigoda girls and their mom were in town (from Washington, DC). Jess was throwing a baby shower for a friend on Saturday afternoon and asked if we would be able to watch the girls : Sonia & Mila : for a few hours - which we of course jumped at the chance to do. As you'll remember Mila & Aidan were in class together this last year. It was so sweet to see friends reunited.
