How could the girls at Grandma's work not fall in love?!

Since my class was canceled this week due to the holiday and the fact that we should be researching, interviewing and writing (whoops!) I decided it was the perfect opportunity to travel the three hours up north to Lake Villa to visit Grandma Brown. Jordan was out of town for work, so we packed up too. We began our morning rather early because we wanted to get to Grandma Brown's around noon so we could head to Pleasant Prairie to hit some shops, although we ran into some road construction so we got there a little later than expected. Eoin was a perfect angel in the car, sleeping most of the way! He only woke up around Bolingbrook and once he was fed, he was out like a light once again. Grandma got to show him off a little bit around work before we headed to the mall. Eoin was a good boy while Grandma and Mommy parused racks and racks of adorable clothes . . . he is almost set for the next year!

After a quick bite to eat, we headed up to Aunt Donna and Uncle Hugh's house for a visit. He loves Uncle Hugh, Aunt Donna and Noreen. Eoin had a great time and was definitely well-behaved (but when isn't he?). Hopefully next time we are up, we will get to see Kathleen and Hughie.

Eoin slept with me that night and he did well; waking at 3:00am! That is great for him as he was waking up at 2:00am most nights and then again of course a short two hours later . . . when he woke up again, Auntie Kelly and Grandma took him to feed him so I could sleep a little longer . . . ahhh, pretty much a vacation :) We wanted to get an early start again though, so we stopped by

Grandma's work again on our way out of town; he was an angel in the car again, so I think he will travel well! Which is good because we will be visiting Grandma, Kelly and McKaylah as much as we can!

We are very excited because Auntie Hannah and Uncle Trevor have flown in from Ireland for a visit . . . we get to see them soon!
