Peter's brother and his wife welcomed their second child, Alexander, in mid-February. We happily loaded up the kiddos for a whirlwind weekend adventure to Illinois to celebrate his Baptism in April. Bonus: the Oregon Marshes were all there, too--Nana and Pa, and Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob and cousin Travis. We left Friday night, drove into the wee hours of Saturday morning, and spent Saturday with cousin Katie (the new big sister) & cousin Trav. Saturday night we had dinner with the new proud parents and the new little one. My kids love to travel, because they almost always get to take advantage of the hotel pool, so we did that on Sunday morning before the Baptism service. After Alex was dedicated, we enjoyed the reception for a little while (too short) and hit the road, arriving in the wee hours of Monday morning. Four hours of sleep, then back to work/school. Whew! That was a quick trip, but worth every moment.

The hosts at the Chinese buffet were smart to pile all of us into the back room so we'd have space all to ourselves and the kids could run around:
