Visit from Grandma

Grandma Rose came out to Indiana to visit us for almost a week, and the whole family loved it. Caden was thrilled that he had Grandma to play with all day long, and we were excited to see her again. It feels like Christmas was so long ago (it is in Caden time). Although we didn't go on any grand adventures, we sure enjoyed a lot of quality time in Lafayette. Thanks to Grandma, Caden has a new favorite pastime: this play mat. He literally can spend an hour grabbing and sucking and kicking and cooing in complete satisfaction (it was a life-saver when I was packing up our old apartment).We spent one afternoon on Purdue campus, which was actually mine and Caden's first time doing so (Jess only spends a couple of hours a week on campus since his lab is off-campus). Although we've had a number of warm days, that day was not one of them, so we had to bundle up to wander around campus.

Grandma's visit was topped off by us starting to move apartments. We have had some messy issues with the plumbing, and the last incident was the last straw. So, we moved out of the basement and into a near-by 2nd story apartment which will not flood if neighbors decide to flush rags down the toilet. Jess and I have decided that we will not miss apartment life once we are done with it.
Thanks Grandma Rose for coming to visit and for all your help! Come back soon!!
