Aidan's birthday has come and gone. He's a big kid of 6 years and 2 weeks as of today. His birth was during a flurry of anxious activity for our family. We moved from Milwaukee to the country (or so it seemed) 13 days before he arrived. The move was a blur with Rob working a new job with a long commute and no time off, me ending a career the day before the move, Delaney being 3, and all of us trying to adjust to all the changes that we made and that have made us.
What is a wonder to me is that this child, born during a tumultuous time, has taught me to slow it down. Because he is here, I stopped working. I learned (and am learning) to take a moment. He has been a gift to us, because he has made our family complete.
Happy 6 years and 2 weeks, Aidan. You have gone from being our Cantaloupe to becoming our Finn. We love you for your gentle soul, quirky humor, musical heart, love for all things sports, and all that makes you YOU.
