and we are back.

I was expecting to work on the blog while we were in IL, but I did not get my pictures uploaded before we left, so that did not happen. Here are just a few miscellaneous shots for your viewing pleasure.

Miles was so EXCITED to "DRIVE" the big truck that my parents brought back from IL with all my grandmother stuff in it.

Miles is looking very dapper in his button up PJ's.

Miles needed to be told to smile and show his teeth for this family picture.

And so he did. I love when he smiles that big.

So busy.....
