Happy December! We've spent our December getting ready for the holidays, watching football, and doing lots of great playing. Aidan has really gotten into legos and building things. Isabella is contantly packing lunch bags, bags, and taking care of her babies or spiderman (her most favorite super hero recently).
We've had such a busy summer! I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted. Here are some recent pictures from a few of our summer highlight, which have included time at the beach and lake with lots of family.
We've been busy with the end of the school year, swimming, t-ball and spending time with family and friends. Here are a few recent pictures. As you can see, we are enjoying the beginning of the summer!
We have also been busy doing lots of different things. Isabella is obsessed up trying to climb the stairs and falling in love with the water (swimming on Saturday mornings with five other friends), Aidan spends lots of time playing t-ball (this picture is from little league day at Camden Yards a couple of weeks ago) and cooking (for me on Mother's day). Both Aidan and Isabella are growing lots and enjoying the spring weather!
This past weekend, we spent the weekend at my parent's house. My grandfather was in town for the weekend visiting from FL. As you can see, we enjoyed the beautiful weather, loved on our new cousin, Owen, and truly enjoyed every minute we were there!
Aidan's first t-ball game of the season was last weekend. His team, the Giants, play each Saturday through June. Damian is the coach of the team. They are both very excited about starting this together! Here are some of the highlights.
On Saturday we went downtown to meet up with friends from N.J. for the cherry blossom parade. While in D.C. we also checked out some monuments and went to the national history museum to visit the dinosaur fossils. The weather and company were fabulous - it was a great day!
We had a very special Easter in our family this year! The newest addition, Owen Thomas Szykuc, was born at 2:10 a.m. Easter morning. Therefore, I was in VA beach with my sister, while Damian was here with the kids. We had just finished making Easter cookies, boiling eggs for decorating and were in the middle of an Easter egg hunt with our neighborhood when Alyson went to the hospital Saturday afternoon. After a long labor, Owen was born via c-section weighing in at 7 lbs and 7 ozs. Both baby and mommy are doing very well. While I was gone, Damian did a great job with the getting the kids ready for church and spending the afternoon at an Easter egg hunt and lunch with friends. We hope your Easter was special, too!
