February 16, 2012 - HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY, AIDAN!


10 years ago today we welcomed our tiny little Aidan Elliot Jacobsen into the world. He arrived weighing 5 lb. 6 1/2 oz. He came in a hurry and he hasn't slowed down since. He was born 2 1/2 hours after my first contraction. We barely made it to the hospital in time, but thankfully he held on just long enough for us to get up to a room. He was our only child not born in Powell. We were in Laramie going to school. I had just graduated in December with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Andy was finishing up his bachelor's in Accounting. It was pretty convenient that he came on a Saturday so that Andy didn't have to miss any classes. Aaron was smitten with Aidan from the moment he saw him and they have remained best friends ever since. I took cookies to school today for Aidan's birthday - snickerdoodles, his absolutely favorite cookie ever. He had basketball practice from 5:00-6:00. We were then able to enjoy his birthday dinner - tillapia, baked potatoes, spinach salad, and strawberries. Aidan absolutely loves tillapia and requests it any time it is his turn to choose what we eat. We then let him stay home for a relaxing evening with Megan while the little girls and Andy and I went to Aaron's basketball game. He said his day was good. He will get to have a fun-filled day tomorrow with his friends to celebrate turning 10!
