What have we been doing?

Well, it has been quite a while since we last updated the blog. Rest assured the entire Ruppel Family is doing great. Heather has been selling "Tastefully Simple" products, Aidan has mastered the art of rolling (he's currently trying to coordinate his legs and start crawling), and Scott has been working hard as usual. The big news is that he'll be leaving again at the end of the month on a 3 month deployment. We're all bummed about that, but he should be home in time for Halloween this year (also known as Aidan's birthday!).

We've been really busy with visitors since Scott got home from his last trip. First, some of Scott's old coworkers were able to stop by while in town on business, then his parents came over for an extended weekend, finally Scott's brother, Brett, also made a visit to meet his nephew.

But you didn't visit the blog to read a play-by-play of the past month, did you? You came here to see pictures of the most popular member of the Ruppel Family. Without further aideu...


Aidan is a happy boy when the entire family is together and we have visitors!
















The beach is hot, and Aidan had to cool off!

Aidan felt more comfortable when Mom had control.

So that's a quick summary of what has been going on here. As you can see, we've been plenty busy - so please forgive us for not getting the blog updated more regularly!
