I can't believe...

 that this boy...

is 9 years old today!  His request a home made chocolate chocolate cake.  To school we sent some spring decorated cut out sugar cookies to be shared with the class.  Apparently the class was very excited about them.  All the kids wanted to help Aidan pass them out.

Oh how I love this boy.  How I suffered for him.  I hate saying that, but it is true.  I don't ever tell this story fully because it is long and I still do not understand all that happened medically to me.  I doubt I will ever know.  Needless to say I left the hospital with this boy as an infant after 2 units of a blood transfusion still quite low in that department and a bottle full of iron tablets.  He was perfectly fine...Mommy not so much.  All turned out well though.  This kid is almost as tall as his Mom if you would believe it.  Not that it is that hard to do.  Well, thankful for a short week of school this week.  The kids have Good Friday off and spring break following.  Yay!
