O'Neill Family: Another visit with my STL peeps

The Nugget and I arrived home yesterday from a fantastic 5 days in St. Louis! Christopher LOVES spending time with his cousins, so he was living the good life. (Of course he also loves his time with Grandma and Grandpa- please don't take him out of the will). His love/hate relationship with Reese is incredibly entertaining to watch. He asked for Reese no less than 20 times/day, and was always sad to hear that she was at home. But when he did have the privilege of being in her company, they often fought over toys (ahem Thomas the Train), or chased each other around with chairs (no joke).

Another highlight of our trip came when Christopher FINALLY said his own name. The boy can tell you the name of every child in his class, every train on Thomas, and every character on Sesame Street- but would not even attempt to say his own name. I was convinced that he would be 18 years old and introducing himself by patting his belly and saying "me". So imagine my surprise when I asked him his name and he replied "Chris-fer". Had my mother not also been a witness, I would have thought I hallucinated. I made such a big deal out of it, I probably scarred him for life. But he has since said it several more times, so I am thinking this will stick!

Now on to the pictures:
