CHRISTMAS at GrandNan's & Grandpa Tom's

Aedhan is definitely like his Mommie in the morning. He doesn't like to be awakened before he is ready. If he's woke to soon, he either cries or he wants to be cuddled. This was a bonding moment with his dad before he got into opening his presents.

This Christmas was about Aedhan.

The best present for Paul and I was that my parents helped us with the Security and Pet Deposit on our apartment in Rochester. It was a big relief off of our minds. We have a place to call home come January 15th.

Our Favorite Things To Do In Chicago In December

First of all, the festivals and concerts in Downtown Chicago. The pictures below are from the Krist Kindl Market in Daly Plaza. We took Aedhan down to get his picture taken with Santa Claus.

Secondly, we'll miss taking the train to any event whether it would be in downtown Chicago or in the suburbs. Chicago has a great mass transit system. You have buses and trains to get you anywhere. In Michigan, you pretty much have to drive everywhere.

Thirdly, we would miss walking down to the Square. In Lincoln Square, you have the luxury of shopping, going to eat or just sitting in the square and letting Aedhan run around with other kids or throwing pennies in the Fountain.

Our Packing Helper

In November, we found out that Paul got the District Trainer Position in Michigan. It felt like the pressure was on Paul and Me. We had to decide when we would be moving to Michigan. Secondly, we had to find an apartment, and thirdly, I had to find and OB/GYN for the rest of my pregnancy (harder than you would think). Most OB/GYN's won't take new patients who are 6 months along.

What kept us in good spirits was Aedhan. He was always eager to help us pack. The below pictures are of Aedhan packing up his magnets off of the fridge.

I'm ready to get started!!
