Back from Deposit

It is Monday and we are back from Deposit, a day early, we returned last night at 9:00pm. What a trip! Jeremy's parents could not find a rental, so they are forced to live in their house. Which is livable, but just barely. They are basically living on the 2nd floor. Jeremy's dad (with the help of Uncle Rich) has been working tirelessly on repairing....there is just so much to do! When we left they had just finished ripping apart the kitchen down to the 2 by 4's. Jeremy didn't want to leave, but we are moving in 2 weeks and had to get our pack on, plus Jeremy needs to get back to work.

Let's talk about our little man...Aidan survived the 7.5 hour ride. The way down wasn't so bad. He took 2 naps....about 1.5 hours each. When he got cranky we sang songs and that made him feel a bit better. He was pretty good at the hotel, except for the going to sleep part. The first night we had a little disagreement and it took a while to fall asleep. The second night I realized that the desk chair rocked a little bit and it made it easier. He enjoyed meeting some of his extended family. All of Jeremy's cousins have kids and most of them are under 5. He also got to hang out with Austin, our nephew who is 1 and a half. They really didn't play together, they played around each other. Aidan loves his new word.....GRAMMA. Which he would only say once or twice while we were there, but said non stop in the car on the drive home. Speaking of the car ride home, not so great. He took a long nap in the beginning, but once he was awake he was mad mad mad!!! We ran out of songs to sing. I had to pull "little bunny foo foo" and "10 little monkeys jumping on the bed" out of my tired head. As Jeremy predicted Aidan fell asleep 10 minutes from home. We had to wake him up to give him his antibiotics and then he didn't back to sleep until almost midnight!!!! He seems to be in much better spirits now.....so we are hoping his ears are cleared up. The next challenge is getting him to eat all the foods he refused while he was sick....wish me luck!!
