Happy Birthday & Happy Father's Day, Don!
We've had a couple of celebrations during the past few weeks. Don turned 31 on June 4 and then, of course, Father's Day last week. For Don's birthday, we got him some fun presents and spent the day together relaxing as a family. Then that evening, we had a double-date with our good friends Liesel and Darren - dinner at a local restaurant that's really tasty (included Deep Fried Bacon) and we saw Star Trek, which it was pretty good. Our wonderful friend Kristine, watched Brennan, Aidan, and their daughter, Liea. It was a fabulous day.
We had a quick overnight visit with our friends, the Rice Family and played some action-packed games of Family Business - yeah Don Bridgette won 'em all. To the mattresses!
For Father's Day, the gift from the boys and me was redecorating (or rather decorating) Don's office. Some nice pictures, a few decorative things, a couple Bonsai trees, a splash of color, desk organization, one candy dish later and voila! - the new office. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a before picture, so you'll just have to trust me that it was an improvement.
During Father's Day weekend, we also had some awesome fun with Kitty and John, some of our peeps from LA. They're moving to Australia and included us on their farewell tour. John is a Motion Capture Animator (the kind of animation they used for Gollum on LOTR) and is going to be working on a movie "Down Undah." It was so great seeing them because we just laugh the entire time we're together. Now I just miss them more.
Aidan turned 11 months on Father's Day and he is all over the place. He crawls so fast and has been pulling up and cruising for a few months now. Then on Thursday, he took his first two real steps! He did it two/three times that day. He was so excited with himself - it was super cute.
Brennan is still doing great with potty training and loves helping take care of Aidan - sometimes too much :0). He's recently really gotten into music and, in particular likes to play "drums" with any large object and my wooden spoons. He even went and grabbed one of his metal kitchen pans and used it as a cymbal kind of drum. It was cool. Then the other day, he gave Aidan a metal pan and spoon and the two of them sat there and jammed together. Classic!
