Four weeks of school have gone by since we returned from winter break. Aden is trying out his running legs, we started up another Master's class, and our Greece trip is sneaking up on us.
Little Aden went and had his 12 month shots last Monday. He weighed in at 24.5 lbs and nearly 32 inches. He tries to run and can get his speed up a little, but really just flaps his arms around more. Spending time outside has become his absolute favorite thing to do. Even though he is a pretty solid walker, it takes a while to go anywhere because he is easily distracted . . . by everything.
As students, Tara and I are working on two classes right now and then only have one left before graduation in May. Our superintendent is teaching a class called "Site-Based Leadership." It is interesting because it gives us an new perspective on why our district (site-based) looks the way it does. I feel like we are learning a lot more this year and consequently working a lot harder on these degrees, but it has been good. Most days we get up, go to work, come home, play with Aden, put Aden to bed, and then continue working for a while longer. In the end though, we know it is worth the extra effort for a short amount of time.
As for our next adventure (as if everyday isn't one with Aden) Tara is taking charge of finding us an island to stay at in Greece after our conference in Athens. My big thing is finding a place we can do some hiking. The front runner island right now is Santorini and we can do a 3 hour hike along the cliff's edge.
Also, you may have noticed an increase in Youtube videos of Aden. My brother said we had some good material and could be one of those videos with a million hits, so we'll see.
Enjoy the pictures and video!

Aden loves to help Daddy clean! Seriously, he grabs the broom all the time.
Hey cutie!
What a quack
Just in case you missed it the first time around. I still think it is funny.
