Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Aunt Frances visited us in New York this weekend! Two visits with her with her in two weeks is heaven! She had a Bikram Yoga training recertification to do, so she stayed with us. and Kiana remembered her! She just stayed for the weekend, but it was awesome. On Sunday morning, we went to Aidan's friend Eme's birthday party, and then afterward, my cousin Heather drove over for lunch. It was great! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

http://aidanruane.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 16, 2012. The kids are doing AMAZING things right now. Two weekends ago, Kiana learned to climb up and down ALL of the red ladders at Bennett Park (two inclined straight ladders AND a curvy ladder that is taller than my head), AND the twisty green ladder-tunnel at Javits Park! I keep wanting to call them my monkeys, but Aidan insists instead on, "SPIDERMAN! Kiana's language right now has also been developing in leaps and bounds. All week she has been asking questions ("Where Gpa? This past ...

Saturday, February 18, 2012. Happy Birthday, Mama! Does life every slow down? It's not the style I had before kids, that's for sure. But, ah well. Anyway, here are some of the highlights from the last couple of weeks. First, two Sundays ago, we officially became members of our church. Second, Alex and I have been taking turns with manic work schedules. Last week, I attended a mini-conference at Hunter College (on the UNHCHR.

Aidan & Kiana: October 2011
http://aidanruane.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. Sunday, October 30, 2011. This week, Daddy was in Colorado (Monday through late Friday) at another workshop, and Grandma Ruane/ Gemma came to stay with us to help with backup. We are glad she came! Having Grandma around was great. She tirelessly played "monster" for Aidan and his friends at the playground, sang "Itsy bitsy Spider" with Kiana (her FAVORITE song right now), and cooked meals. On Friday, she even took Aidan on a movie date: " Megamind. ALL DAY on Saturday! We took t...

http://aidanruane.blogspot.com/2012/06/going-to-hawaii.html
Wednesday, June 6, 2012. So where were we? Last month, I finished up my first semester teaching, and Alex got to a stopping point on his current projects, and we packed up the kids and our stuff and flew to Oahu! It was the first time we have been to Hawaii since Kiana was born, and the trip was long overdue! It ended up being a whole family reunion as well as a vacation, and it was WONDERFUL. We took a red-eye from Newark, NJ to Honolulu, and the kids were great! Exploring is easy and fun! Abbi and Alex...

Monday, May 30, 2011. We went to the Catskills for the long holiday weekend, this weekend. Mommy mostly worked, while Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa Ruane hung out with the kids. Aidan and Kiana had fun: they helped Daddy wash the car on Saturday (it was a gorgeous, warm weekend! And did the usual visiting of chickens, dogs, playing in streams, and helping. Aidan got to use his own (Aidan-sized) shovel, and even tried a power drill with Grandpa! On Sunday, they all went on the Catskill Mountain Railroad.

http://aidanruane.blogspot.com/2012/06/more-hawaii.html
Wednesday, June 6, 2012. On Tuesday, the rest of the family started arriving, and the real family reunion began! Jon-Michael got in Tuesday, Frances got in Wednesday, my dad (Pop pop) got in Thursday, and my mom (Nana) got in Friday, and everyone stayed together over the long weekend. Chris and Lauren took off the last couple days of the week, so we all got to really hang out and enjoy relaxing together. It was great! But she was very happy to play in the sand at the beaches. The Hawaiian state fish!
