14.

Aidan is 14. We are not sure how that happened. It feels like we were just celebrating his 4th birthday! Soon enough we will have ourselves an official high schooler!

Great Wolf Lodge

Saint Patrick’s Day in Southie is a very messy day. We decided to get away and go to Great Wolf Lodge. Even more fun – going with cousins! The kids enjoyed the water rides, activities, freedom of moving around on their own. It was a fun way to escape and have some family time. As cool as the boys think they are and as “over” as they may be with hanging out with us, having Emilee around makes it fun for everyone!

Pax East

For Aidan’s birthday this year he asked to attend PAX East with his friends. The five of them spent the day playing video games, looking at new video games and taking in all of the cosplay. They most especially liked being on their own and asked to do it again next year!

This year’s annual tradition of going to Disney on Ice happened to fall on opening night. Brendan as surprised with front row seats. It was a great show and Brendan even got to be a part of it just before it began! (again!)

Most important – his outfit. The moms who sat next to us loved his ears and their daughters enjoyed watching Brendan sing and dance along too!

15 Years of Wicked

15 years ago today the musical Wicked opened on Broadway.

We have seen the show a few times but this picture is from the first time- in London, 2014. Brendan had just turned 7.

During the whole trip, in every train station and any time he saw the poster, he insisted we had to see the show. On our last day, we went. Our seats were the first row of the balcony.

I’ll never forget watching him sing all the songs he watched on YouTube videos over and over. And I’ll never forget him telling us (once again) that someday he wanted to be one of the people on the stage telling the stories.

The second picture is of the t shirt he got after the show. He just recently retired it (4 years later!). For a while it was in almost every picture we took, he wore it as much as he could. He said he loved it because it reminded him of how he felt watching the show.
