We're back!

We are back from St. Louis. We had a nice, fast & furious trip. The ten hour drive was not bad at all! We had Saturday to do a little sight seeing.... we tried to go to the St. Louis Zoo but it was literally a zoo, we could not find a place to park even when we were more than a mile away! So, we opted for a visit the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica which was absolutely AMAZING with its incredible mosiacs! Afterwards we enjoyed a dish of "concrete" from St. Louis' finest frozen custard establishment "Ted Drewes" and headed home for some R & R.

Sunday was the family reunion. We had a great time visiting with everyone. It was so fun to see the new little babies and see how much our babies from 2 years ago had grown.

As promised, here is a picture of the Fabulous Five.

These are the babies in the same order as the last picture 2 years ago in the previous post. Ironically not much had changed, there were more than 10 adults in the room trying to get the kids to smile and look the same direction. Timothy, front & center, was a ham. Caroline, far right had a fit. Mr Blonde, Charles- far left, endured. Our own Micaela (second from left) smiled but only because she knows better and India, fourth just wanted to know what was going on! Needless to say, it was hilarious. We couldn't believe they acted the exact same way as they did two years ago. We look forward to taking pictures again in 2009, hopefully by age four they will cooperate a little more!
