Happy 7th Birthday Aidan! - August 18,2008
| Just a quick note to let you know things are going well and to let you know why we have been away for the last week or so. Our absence is because we have been so very busy making preparations for Aidan’s 7th Birthday and making arrangements for some other special plans we are working on. The preparations were well worth the effort and Aidan actually started celebrating his Birthday a couple of days before it arrived. I will be quick to describe some of the activities and I will promise to follow this up with some more detail and quite a few photos. On Saturday Aidan had the opportunity to be a part of this year’s Ben-Franklin County Fair & Rodeo Parade. He rode the route in Nanni’s open top Volkswagen Beatle and he |

| enjoyed every moment of the attention and yells of encouragement from the spectator’s lining the route. Aidan was accompanied by a group of supporters and family who were all wearing their Aidan’s Guardian Angel T-shirts. The entourage of supporters were handing out candy and wristbands until the supplies ran out about half way through the route. It really was quite the experience and something Aidan will remember for quite some time to come. On Sunday we called family, friends, and supporters together so that we could share a brunch potluck and start celebrating Aidan’s birthday one day early. It was a huge success with fun, good food, and good company for everyone. Aidan’s Papa Zaugg made a surprise visit from Everett which made the day even more special than it already was. Aidan received a lot of awesome gifts, but none made him happier then receiving his very own cell phone. He couldn’t wait to use it and was calling friends and family who were only a room or two away. I would share his telephone number with you, but we are already concerned the 120 minutes the phone came with won’t even be remotely close to what he will eventually need. Maybe when the newness wears off just a bit we will share his number so some of you can give him a call. | |

Well after two days of “pre” celebration the very special day has finally arrived. Aidan spent the day with more friends and family and then capped the day off with a meal he has been dreaming about for at least the last month or so. Every time the Red Lobster commercial would come on TV Aidan was quick to say he wanted to go there and try some lobster with crab legs. Well it didn’t take him too long to finalize his decision when the waitress asked what he wanted. He ended up with a dish that included lobster, crab legs, scallops, and shrimp. From the very first bite you could tell Aidan really was enjoying it, and even though it took him some time, he ended up finishing up almost everything set on the plate in front of him. You are one very special little boy Aidan Zaugg and we hope and pray the last few days have brought you the enjoyment and love that you so very much deserve. With God’s blessing, we intend to celebrate many more birthdays with you in the years to come. Happy Birthday to Our Very Special 7 Year-old! |
