Pockets...

So much has transpired since I last updated this. Aiden and I had a wonderful trip to Florence Italy. We stayed with our friends Lexie and Umberto and we were also fortunate enough to have had the magnificent David Seaman come down from Germany to kick it around with us. Simply put, we had an amazing time. Eating wonderful food, being overwhelmed by history, traversing narrow medieval streets on bikes, howling like wolves at passersby, soaking up the culture and friendliness of everyone we met. By the end of it all, neither of us wanted to leave. Aiden now lives in Stauton Virginia. It is quite a distance away from Philadelphia and I miss him with all of my heart. 

I have always been fascinated by the items I find in Aidens pockets. I feel like they are an invaluable insight into the heart and mind of an amazing little boy. For example I present the contents of a pair of pants he left here last time he was at my house....


There in lies..... Change, a black string with a button on
 it, a heart necklace, blast caps, a rocket that the blast caps go in, a mini knight, earrings, a cross, a bunch of felt balls, a gum wrapper, a fuse, a golf tee, a tissue, and an eagle emblem.
