Great Weekend!

I cannot believe Monday is almost over! We had a lovely weekend that began Thursday with a visit from our friends Nate and Andrea and their two children Georgia and Cooper. They arrived like a tornado of activity which is pretty much how they roll now with two small kids and a dog. I can't imagine how it could be any other way, and when they left I felt as if my job with Aidan was so easy compared to having two small children! They are adorable!

We had a great evening and it was so nice to hang out and feel normal again! Aidan slept like a dream that night so Kevin and I felt rested and ready for a rain-free weekend by Friday night which was also wonderful.

Aidan loves his mobile, thanks so much Andrea & Nate!!!

Unfortunately Aidan did not feel like sleeping on Friday night and we were literally up all night. He slept in one hour increments and by the time we would lay down and fall asleep, he was up again wanting to eat or just wanting to hang out. Fortunately for us, he is not a big cryer, he has such a nice temperament and even at 3 a.m. he is so sweet, he just wants to be held by Mommy or Daddy. Needless to say we were bleary eyed Saturday morning but for the first time in what seemed like ages it was sunny and gorgeous outside so we had to get out of the house and enjoy it! We headed to Burlington to check out the farmers market and to buy a swing for Aidan. We had no idea it was the "Festival of Fools" which is basically a weekend event where tons of street performers hit downtown and all kinds of clowns and circus freaks where everywhere! Kevin loved this guy, a one man band... The city was packed and walking down the street was difficult at times, but it was so nice to get out we just embraced the chaos and enjoyed ourselves!

After downtown, we visited Toys R' Us (a place I despise!) and picked up a swing for Aidan. He now has everything a little boy could ever want and we have many different ways to entertain and soothe him, so we're all happy!

Kevin made a delicious mozzarella and basil pizza with the basil and tomatoes from our garden, and we had a nice, relaxing Saturday night watching the Olympics! Don't Kevin's pizza's look amazing? From scratch people...I have a talented husband.

Sunday it was forecasted to rain all day so we were thrilled to wake up to sunshine! We packed up the diaper bag again, loaded Lily in the car and headed to Stowe to check out their farmer's market and take a long walk on the beautiful rec path. Lily is now forced to sit in the far back which she hates, but it's very cute when she leans over to watch Aidan!

After a lovely afternoon in Stowe, we came home and napped and were treated to dinner by our friends John and Lindsay who came over and cooked a yummy sausage pasta. Added bonus...they held Aidan while Kevin and I ate! It was such a thoughtful thing for them to do, we appreciate it so much, thanks again you guys!
All around great weekend!
