We were thrilled to have Abby and Ross here last week, and Papa Randy (aka Mr. Tabasco) took advantage of their stop in Chicago and came back for a few days to visit too. We had a full house, and both boys loved all the attention. Tuncle Toss even got to ring in his 30th b-day here in rockin Wheaton. The celebration wasn't too crazy, but we did make it out for a nice sushi dinner and home in time to share some b-day cake with Alec. We have really missed them over the last 7 months and thoroughly enjoyed their company and help with the kiddos. Alec kept them on their toes and did a great job of exposing them to what life is like with a 3-year old boy, while Charlie snuggled right up and loved on them both. Thanks so much for coming guys, and welcome back to the US! Here are a bunch of pics from their visit. Alec helped me make the cake and then had his eye on it all day. We had to tell the sitter to make sure he didn't eat any before we got home.
On Sun we had some CO friends over for a bbq. Here is Charlie with his first lady friend Piper, who is 2 months his senior.
Alec and his best IL bud Hayden. They literally ran around playing for nearly 5 hours, they are a parents dream come true when they are together - we never see them!

Alec's new obsession, watching videos on U-tube. He wants to watch boats, trains, planes, and his favorite, trash trucks. Who knew that a 10 minute video of a trash truck driving around picking up trash could bring a boy such bliss.

We headed over to the neighborhood zoo on Sat with my dad for an egg hunt. The weather wasn't good, so the outdoor egg hunt ended up being just a mess of eggs and goodies all over the floor in a small indoor room, but Alec liked it nonetheless.
I'm with him, I think the bunny is a little freaky too!
Proudly displaying his loot
Charlie slept like a champ in the baby hawk through the whole event.

Charlie has changed so much. He is a baby not a newborn anymore. We saw that start to happen a couple days after our arrival. Having Abby and Ross there must have been lots of fun. These are wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing. Love and hugs Bub
Great shots, we loved visiting and we already miss you guys!
