When we were back in Chicago, we were able to visit with my sister Karen and ROBBIE, our awesome nephew. He ran right out the front door, yelling "Cousins! Cousins", when we arrived, which cracked us up.
You know, it is REALLY hard to get a good picture in our family. Someone is always running by and doing rabbit ears behind your head. Those belong to Evie.
Evie was being restrained in the above picture, therefore this pic is rabbit-ear-less, and you can more fully concentrate on Robbie's cuteness.
I'll upload more pics when we download from Callie's camera....but needless to say, we had a great time. Karen made us the most amazing red velvet cake, and we had a great time looking at old funny pictures, Karen's BEAUTIFUL scrapbooks, and playing with fisher price toys (what memories!) The kids are all in love with Robbie.....can't wait for our next visit.
Oh, happiness! Jim was driving to work one day and called in when he heard the radio station was giving away Taylor Swift tickets....and lo and behold he won! We gave Callie the tickets for her birthday, as she is, besides Jim, the biggest "T-Swift" fan in our family. Callie wrote to Taylor and explained what she and Jim would be wearing so Taylor would be able to spot them.
Apparently, when you wear cowboy hats, you have to crook your leg like that.
But aren't they cute? When they got to the stadium, they went up, and up and up....to the nose bleed section. Jim was a little ....um, amazed at the quality of the seats, but Callie said, "This is so cool how high up we are, we can see everything from here! " Thank goodness for jumbo-trons....
Pretty sure she will remember this daddy daughter date forever........
