Week 15: Adventure with the Liliputians (aka Mimi and Pops)

One day (very soon) you'll be taller than Mimi and Pops. But for now they are bigger than you and, therefore, are perfect candidates to baby sit you. Since your Mommy went back to work part time last week, we had the opportunity to send you to Summer Camp for a week...except it was at our house...but the camp counselors were your Daddy's parents: Mimi and Pops.
Now, you know the two of them quite well already, but this was really their first opportunity to spend a whole lot of time with you alone. They had a blast with you!

Mimi is hypnotizing you?

This is their story, and these are their pictures of their Week-long adventure with you, Aidan!

Just so you know, you are very, very loved (and appeal to multiple demographics, including the "CBS and Early Dinner" crowd too!)

p.s. they have succeeded where I have, thus far, failed: they got some amazing pictures of your beautiful eyes! I guess you can "Inspector Clouseau" into just about anything these days!

Mimi and Pops are our guest bloggers today, and this is what they wrote to you (please forgive them trying to be funny...that's where I get my special humor skills from as well):

Master Aidan, what a "joy" (pun intended) it has been to have this wonderful opportunity to really get to know you - not just visit for a couple of hours in an evening, at your"witching" hour, when you are quite tired from all the day's activities, but really have a daily relationship with you -

playing, reading books, singing, being the tummy time big persons, feeding you, taking "walks" on the Wii, changing your diapers even, watching all your smiles, giggles and chortles, and even putting you to sleep and watching you "dream."


Being with you every day for a week now brings back such lovely memories in our lives some 28 years ago when another little baby boy, now your Daddy, brought such happiness to our lives. Your Mommy came as a blessing into your Daddy's and our lives 13 years ago. You are already exhibiting so many of the same traits that Mommy and Daddy have - you are happy, healthy, well-adjusted, adorable, snuggly, and oh so precious.

Also watching your Mommy and Daddy every day for a week has reinforced what we already knew: they have been amazing persons their whole lives and now they are your amazing parents - comfortable in, at and with every moment.

Love you and those big guys too - and so grateful for the experience and to have such a wonderful little boy and his family live near us where we can continue to watch you grow, go for long walks, go to the library and read books, go out for ice cream, spending the night at our house, baking cookies, going to movies, working puzzles, and all the other things that we can do and will do with you, our precious ones.

Mimi & Pops love You!
