Trying to find relief from the harsh Chicago winters (which go well into spring), my sister Liesl and her kids graced us with their presence the last week in March for a fun-filled visit.
Baby Topher was a hit. He is such a sweet tempered baby, not to mention incredible cute. Alex thought it was great to have a baby around.
Here's the sugar cereal feast. Sugar cereal is a rare occasion at our house. Fruit Loops and Lucky Charms are the specialty when special visitors come.
Cousin computer geeks. Whitney and Addie, both sporting their glasses and lap-tops, shared web game secrets.
Topher quite enjoyed Tiger, our cat, and Tiger tolerated Topher. Once again, Tiger shows his look of indignation, but remains gentle, despite little hands pulling and poking.
For the kids, the highlight of the week was our visit to Chuck E Cheese where they got to play games till their hearts content. Maycie spent most of her time on this virtual ride (above). She ended up sharing with a few strangers because she didn't want to get off.
Ty, the basketball champ brushed up on his skills playing hoops. I must say that kid has quite a knack for basketball.
Alex loved the ski-ball, but choose the violent over-hand throw versus the more effective under-hand roll. He still managed to get some in.

As for Liesl and I, we did our traditional cookie dough and chick flick thing. We managed to get a child-free girls night out where we ate at Melting Pot (mmmm) and got to do a little shopping.

Thanks for coming to see us Shurtliff family. We look forward to the next visit.

When did Addie get glasses?!
When are you going to SLC?
The cat looks cross-eyed. Hilarious.
Miss you already.
when did addie get glasses? I'm out of it. Tori has some, too, but only has to wear them at school...for far distances, really.
