Wow, we've been busy








Since I last posted a blog, Olen started a new job, Aiden and I went to Orlando, and the whole family went to Rusk to see Thomas the Train. And now, Thanksgiving is only a couple of weeks away, with Christmas hot on its heels.
Olen is enjoying his new job. It's closer to home which makes him happier. He is also a lot less stressed.
Orlando was fun. Mom had to go for a business trip and invited us to tag along. G-ma met us there to join in the fun. We spent one day at the waterpark on the resort site. Aiden just loved that! The next day we headed to take a look at the Atlantic Ocean. The next, where else but to Disney World. We spent 13 hours in the Magic Kingdom. Aiden loved playing at Donald's boat. It started raining, but he was so wet already that he didn't even notice! He also got to meet Minnie and Mickey which he declared the highlight of his trip. My favorite part was the Spectromagic light parade. It was worth the whole trip just for that. There were thousands and Thousands of little lights everywhere.
Aiden even had two different characters come up to him during the parade. He wasn't sure about these lighted figures coming up to him in the dark though! :-)
The following weekend was our trip to Rusk, TX to spend the day out with Thomas the Train. Aiden loves Thomas. They had tables with train sets of all sizes. It was a beautiful day and the train depot was next to a lovely lake.
We're looking forward to spending Thanksgiving in San Antonio. Then the christmas season begins in earnest.
