Serious Catch Up - the Lake

I'm long overdue and behind on the blog, hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come when baby # 3 arrives in just 2 weeks and 2 days!  So, here are several posts from the last 2 weeks.  Grammy is here visiting for Alec's bday and they are busy in the kitchen making carrot cake cupcakes, so hopefully I can get all caught up.  We headed to Michigan for Labor Day weekend and enjoyed a long overdue vacay with our BFF's the Wolfes.  As always, the weekend was filled with lots of laughter, fun, food and family.  One definite bonus of living in IL is being within 5 hours of the lake house.  Thanks guys for another awesome weekend. 

The jet skis were a highlight of the weekend for Alec

 Alec and Logan played together non-stop.  We woke up every morning and looked out the window to the two of them happily stomping all around the beach. 

 You better believe these 3 flipped this jet ski, and both boys thought it was the coolest thing ever.    You should have heard the banter when they got back to the beach.

 Even Charlie got to take a ride

 Charlie checking out Pearl, the wild peacock who lives in the neighborhood, and was up on Julie's brother's front porch.

 Headed to Clam Diggers for some mashed potatoe pizza

 The whole gang.  It's always fun to have so many kids around, this pic includes all 4 of Julie's nieces and nephews.

 Big Alec (who is actually our Alec's namesake) and Charlie.  I have NEVER met a sweeter teenage boy.  He was completely enamored with Charlie and played with him all weekend.
