As most of you know, my mom had to have emergency surgery on Friday due to a herniated disc in her back. They removed the disc, and she's doing a lot better. Recovery will be slow, because it was such an intense surgery, but she's doing well.
But, because the kids and I are staying down in Vacaville for awhile to help out, I will not be able to meet my goal of a November 1st launch for my website. Only a little setback - hopefully it will be up and running soon. My new goal is November 10th.
We'll be in Vacaville for Halloween this year - I am looking forward to Aaron's first! I'll post pictures as soon as I can, as I'm pretty busy these days.
Happy Halloween everyone!

New Business
After all of the interest that people have taken in my scrapbooking and other paper crafts - I've decided to open up a new business. I'm launching a website to try my hand at selling all things scrapbook - hand made cards, personalized birthday banners, pre-made scrapbook pages, scrapbook page kits, clear acrylic albums (they look really neat!) and also customized products.
The site is called Sweet Treats Paper Crafts, and my goal is to have it launched by November 1st, in time for the Christmas season. I'm excited to see how it goes. I will post a link to the site when it is up and running!

Our First Post!
Welcome friends and family! We've set up this blog to help us share updates on our family! A lot of interesting things have been happening lately, so read on!
The most recent event happening in the Gilding house is that Aaron underwent circumcision sugery on Monday, Oct. 13th. Because of his prematurity, he wasn't able to have it done at birth; so we had to wait until he was 6 months old. (Or in his case, 7.5 months - corrected age.) He had to be put under general anesthesia and operated on by a pediatric Urologist; also because of his age. He came through the surgery with flying colors and is recovering well! We had a slight bleeding scare on Wednesday night, but everything turned out fine and he is doing great!
Also, Wednesday was our 2nd Wedding anniversary - as I mentioned before, we had Aaron's bleeding scare and spent it in the emergency room. It turned out that it was nothing, and we spent $100 on an emergency room co-pay that was unnecessary - but better to be safe than sorry. We ended up just going out to Round Table after we got out of the ER, but it had meaning to us and we enjoyed it. It's amazing that it's already been two years...
I'm taking the kids to get their Halloween pictures taken today! Hailey has decided to be a Ladybug, and Aaron is a "Wacky Spider." They both look adorable in their costumes! I will post pictures from that session as soon as I can.
Hailey has been growing so much lately - we celebrated her 4th birthday on September 28th - and she is already learning how to read and spell. She can spell a few words already with no help: dog, fly, pie, box, cat, bell, pig, and even rocket! She can recite the entire alphabet and pick out letters from various things with no help. She's so smart! She is also looking forward to starting kindergarten next fall. I think it will be good for her.
Aaron has also recently started to crawl! He is scooting across the floor for the most part, but he has started to get up on all fours and actually crawl. It's amazing watching him go from a tiny preemie to what he is now. He's definitely overcoming the obstacles put in his way in the beginning and growing and learning every day. We are so proud of him!
That's about it for us right now - I will post pictures and more updates soon! Happy Fall!
