Auntie Lauren comes to town!

Well, apparently as parents there comes the first moment of truth, in which you realize that somehow, overnight, you've transformed from relatively mature, laid-back adults into freakishly obsessive, overprotective germ-a-phobes. For us, that moment was last Wednesday. With visions of Nolan's first (scary) night of breathing difficulties still emblazened in our minds, we discovered that Aunt Lauren and Uncle Joey had come down with colds before their scheduled visit to San Diego. Cruel siblings that we are, we took the draconian measure of banishing the sniffly Aunt Lauren to the far side of the room for an entire day until her cold cleared up (poor Uncle Joey never even made it out of Pasadena). However, eventually the symptoms subsided, and Nolan got his first one-on-one hang out time with his new Aunt...

Luckily, Joey and Lauren have forgiven us for our Obsessive Compulsiveness, and are coming back to visit Nolan this week!
