Aidan Marston William
Five years old and seeing the world!
Okay, so I have been remiss, and by now he's actually five years and five months. My only excuse is that we had so many pictures from this year that I was overwhelmed by the task of narrowing them down. But, after much deliberation, here they are (others can be found across our various Berlin pages). There is also, of course, a new update to the annual bear chair picture. With all of our travel, this was a big year for Aidan, and he enjoyed every bit of it. During Aidan's fifth year he...
