Last trip with only 3 tickets

Well, we are back from STL & it was our last trip before Tucker is 2 & has to have his own ticket. My baby will be 2 in 8 days...wow. We had a great trip. We got to spend time with both of our families, including Corby's family in Rockford. The boys had a blast playing with April's girls. It was fun to see them pair up with the girls, Bray with Gabby & Tuck with Julia. They had a good time, with only a few problems with Braylen being a little rough. We went to the train warehouse, made cookies, stuffed ornaments, made a paper chain for the tree, went to see the lights at the Zoo & the Shrine & of course watched Poppy's train go around the Christmas tree. Every time my dad walked in the door, Tucker took him by the hand & they had to run the train. We got to spend time with Brody, who is doing wonderfully except for the croup & an ear infection right now. He has changed from a baby into a little person with a funny personality!
At the Zoo.
My dad included a "bunkhouse" in the basement of their new house with a very comfy full bed & the boys slept there. They loved it! In fact, the second night we were back in Vegas, i went to check on the boys before I went to bed & couldn't find Braylen. He was in Tucker's bed with him & they were both fast asleep. I don't think they will have a problem sharing a room after the baby's born. We got to spend time with April & Beth, who was home from New Mexico.
April is due 2 days after me on June 11, but our bellies are not the same size...I am for sure eating for 2! We had a good time together & I can't wait to see her again after the babies are born this summer. She is not finding out what she is having, so we'll all be in suspense until then. I, on the other hand, am anxiously awaiting January 20th for our ultrasound.

The boys did great on the plane both ways. It will be nice on our next trip when Tucker has his own seat. I would gladly trade the extra expense for him not climbing all over everyone & rolling around on the floor. Braylen was very content in his seat with his blanky, books & dvds. We had a great Christmas, the boys got a ton of stuff...we had to ship a 42 lb box back home, & we had a good time with our families.

On Jan 20th huh? Its good to know that your guys will be doing something constructive that day instead of watching our new President get sworn in. I am sure that Corby is so very sad he is missing that on TV. HA!
