Reuben Visits!

Late last week I found out that my older sister Ashley and her little boy Reuben were coming to Kansas.  How excited I was!  Since they live in Champaign, IL I really don't get to see them very often.  Anytime I do see them Reuben has graduated to the next stage of his life.  A couple months ago when I met up with them in Quincy Reuben had just started to scoot across the floor on his hands and knees.  Now this time he was WALKING!!!  It was so fun to have them, and I must say that this week I have missed the little bundle crawling and walking all over our house.  

   My dad was in Quincy when Ash and Reuben got there, so he drove them out to Kansas.  On the way Reuben got to experience his first time at McDonalds!  He even got to meet Ronald McDonald, whom as you can tell he loved.

Reuben even helped Dad and Matt with some of our gutter work.  He was thrilled to be able to play in the dirt.

He even gave the shovel a try!

Look at him go.....

Here he is trying to help did dirt out of the hole Dad and Matt were digging.

Squeaky clean thanks to mommy!

Visiting Grandpa's chicks....he was a little intimidated of them.

Went to a cookout at Jason and Maggi's house.

Here comes the train!  Reuben was so excited at first.......

....then he got scared because it was so loud.

Love you Reuben and Ash!
