Conferences and Coughs

This week Daddy flew to New Orleans for a conference and Mommy and Aidan stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Ruane in Hopedale, MA. They were thrilled to see him, and Aidan loved playing with them. The highlight of the week was having lunch with Grandma and having Aidan sit in a high chair at the restaurant! We stuffed him in with coats and scarves, and he animatedly ate the menu and threw his rattles on the floor - we all loved it! (We'll have to add the pict later - it's on Grandpa's camera.) Mommy was also thrilled to go shopping! We got Aidan a new snowsuit (sized 18 months!) at Children's Orchard to replace his old one (12 months) which was getting tight. And Mommy got a bunch of new clothes, which made her week.

Unfortunately, Aidan came down with his first real cold and has had a runny nose and racking cough for most of the week - poor baby! We all feel terrible for him, and nobody has slept very well because of it. Despite this setback, Aidan and Daddy were overjoyed to see each other when Daddy returned from his conference on Friday, and we are all happy to be back at home with our little family together again.
