our first visitors

This morning we all went on a walk. Aiden for the first time rode his bike while we walked. After about a mile, he was finished. None the less, he enjoyed it and it was a perfect day to be outside. We are trying to walk in different places each day to get to know Auburn. It's been a lot of fun.

My Aunt Pat and Uncle Don came and visited us this afternoon in Auburn. They officially were our first guests. It was fun to show them around and spend time with them. The boys had a great time playing with them and miss them! Here are a couple of the pictures they took of the boys:

Notice Aiden's hair is super short. Last night I gave him a haircut with the electric razor. Holy shortness! I did not mean for it to be that short, but oh well! Aiden basically had a complete breakdown from the razor. He was terrified of it, even though this was not the first time using them. Aid's really been struggling with fear recently. Things that he used to do no problem, he is scared to do. Such as flies, Aiden is so scared of flies. He calls them bees. He also has a fear of gnats. He also calls them bees. Yesterday we were at the playground and he wouldn't do several things at first because he was scared. It's a very sticky situation trying to teach him to be discerning, but also to be tough. Chad and I are starting to pray with him every night for it and hope that he will realize that God is more powerful than his fear.

Kian loves to tackle Aiden and loves doing anything that Aiden does. He has become quite a little boy! He is becoming SO much fun! He also is our little screamer. It doesn't matter if he's upset or not, he will probably scream (although if he's upset, it's basically a guarantee that he will). In fact at the church we visited last Sunday, we told the nursery workers that. I'm hoping he outgrows it quickly. Kian is now saying please (it's more of a grunt and he claps his hands; however, to Kian it's please). Anyway, it was neat to see Kian warm up quickly to Aunt Pat (I think she sorta liked it too). It was a great day!
