Busy Beginning to 2009

Long time no post! We have had a very busy beginning to the new year. Jim was able to take off the same days I had off from school, which was fantastic (especially given how much time he had to take off for me and Aiden in February-March)! We enjoyed a lot of family time and the break went by way too quickly. We had many visitors over the holiday break, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and Canadians. We also made a surprise last-minute visit to Philly to visit Jim's grandmom, who was too sick to travel for the holidays, and we had lunch with friends before traveling back. Aiden screamed the whole car ride home, which is why we do not like to travel with him!

Jim and I have been really busy at our jobs since going back to work, and have been spending every spare minute with Aiden. Aiden still lacks mobility, but he seems to be getting closer to crawling and/or cruising. He is growing increasingly frustrated with the fact that he is not able to move where he wants to. He is also cutting his 7th and 8th teeth. Fun times!

If you haven't already, please sponsor Jim in the Polar Bear Plunge. It's for a great cause (MD Special Olympics). And come on...he's jumping in the cold, dirty water of the Chesapeake in January!
