Thanksgiving was fun as always, but this year we had an extra reason to be thankful. Meet my nephew, Aiden. In addition to being awfully cute, he very quickly figured out how to work a crowd, which served him well at assorted Thanksgiving dinners and open houses over the weekend.
As for the long weekend, it was hectic and very busy, including time spent finishing a job I started a couple of weeks ago - pulling up the carpeting on the first floor of my house. After studying the underside of the carpet, I've come to the conclusion that someday scholars are going to discover that the name Trudy descends from ancient Aramaic and translates into "very small bladder". Egad. There might have been one or two spots on the dining room floor she didn't hit, but I sure wasn't seeing them.
Saturday was spent at the aforementioned open house for Aiden, where he was exposed to birthday cake for the first time. Apparently, he wasn't a big fan of sweets, until Darcy gave him the cake she'd baked for him. Now, he's a thirteen-month-old sugar junkie, crawling the floors of his new home, looking for a fix.
Or maybe he's just crawling. I hear kids do that, after all.
In any case, Aiden is back at home with his new family and settling in nicely by all accounts. Welcome to the family, Aiden.

That is awesome! The kid, not the floor.
:)
Also, my dog when she was a pup did the same thing to my basement carpet so now it has vinyl.
CARPET IS BAD. Which is also the reason I have to replace the carpet in soph's room.
WOW!!!! That is Great news for Mike and Diana!!!!! I am very happy for them, and the rest of the McCown Clan. Aaron
