Trip to Chicago

The weekend of September 11, we headed to Chicago to meet Charli O'Donnell and visit Randy & Cory and the kids.  Jenny, Matt and the baby are doing great; and Charli is a sweetie-pie.  She is still sooo tiny, and doing great! 

Melanie loves hanging out with her cousins, and has recently learned that they all share a last name.  She's fascinated by that fact, and reminds me any time she says her last name that it's also Charlie Worzala and Sammie Worzala.  "Joey too."  Charlie & Sam taught her their moves while they danced to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" - over and over.

Charlie has a lot of things to teach his only boy cousin.  Hopefully his dance moves are part of the lessons.

He seemed less thrilled with Melanie in this photo:

It was great to get caught up with our old friend Lunchbox and his wife over dinner.  Chris (Lunchbox) and I worked together at Ernst & Young, and he ended up rooming with Randy for a couple of years. 

We also got to see Uncle Rick, Aunt Sandy & Becky Sunday morning for breakfast.  For some reason I don't have pictures of that!  All in all, it was a great trip - short, but fun!  Both of the kids were asleep before we hit the city limits - so much excitement!
