Playdate with Mitchell and Carter

We love being back in Illinois and being able to visit the Robinson household. It's always a nice drive there and back through the rolling plains of Illinois. Charlotte and I ventured up to see them Monday April 23, 2012. We drove to their beautiful house in the morning while Charlotte took her morning nap. I kept telling her on the way she was going to be seeing her cousins Mitchell and Carter and her Aunt Tracey... as well as Bailey... her kitty cousin.

It's so cute how each time we see them, they seem so much more grown up! (which obviously they are) The last time we saw them was in February on Mitchell's second birthday. It always takes him a minute for him to get used to us and for him to play with Charlotte. Here he is in the first few minutes clinging to his mama.

Charlotte loved helping Tracey with Carter. She loves patting babies on the back so when she saw Tracey burping him, she jumped right in to help.

Our attempt to get the three kiddos together. The best one in the picture is the youngest one. The seven month old is the only one looking at the camera.

Here the two younger ones are watching TV and Mitchell is trying to figure out his next move :)

I have no idea what Charlotte is pointing at but it cracks me up. Notice her little finger. It's like she was going to poke Mitchell in the butt.

Kisses from cousins.

Sweet baby Carter. He was so chill and so good all day.

That cell phone was the favorite toy. All three of them LOVED it.

I love how similar in size they are. Mitchell was such a peanut at Carter's age.

Hugs for the baby. 

One last group shot. Here Mitchell is giving his brother love. They are all three so sweet.

We had a delicious lunch of spaghetti (Charlotte ate her weight in noodles). We hung out, talked, the kids played. It was perfect. When it was time for Charlotte's afternoon nap, we loaded up in the Tahoe and headed back to Mom and Dad's house. Charlotte was asleep before we were even out of their neighborhood.

BUT when she woke up, she was greeted with a snack/treat of the golden oreos...one of her favorite all time treats. She tears them apart and eats the creme out of the center then nibbles on the actual cookie.

It was a great day. I love seeing Tracey and catching up on life. She really is like a sister to me and I don't know what I'd do without her. I am so thankful to have the Robinsons in my life. And even though we don't talk everyday anymore, we still talk frequently and tell each other everything.
