One of the top things on Corey's to-do-in-Illinois list was to get his favorite Pizza.
It's called Monacles and they make an exceptionally great thin crust pizza. We have had it three times so far. Cindy ordered it the night we got here and we have had it twice since. It's totally delish!

Last but not least something Corey and I have both been waiting for:

Cindy occasionally had sent me some clothing from her boys when they were little. Alaster is modeling one that both Casey and Corey wore as youngsters. I just loved it when I saw it and I knew that I wanted Aly to attend church in it someday. When we found out we were moving to Illinois I knew we should wait until we were here. I wanted to surprise Cindy and have him come trodding out of our room one Sunday morning to surprise her.

She loved it of course and helped me tie it in the front correctly.

Corey let me snap this shot of the two of them together. It used to be his outfit after all so I wanted a picture of him holding Aly in it:

I love how it turned out. Corey is looking so handsome and Alaster is ... well... Alaster. Adorable. Like father like son. When Corey's uncle met Alaster the first time on the fourth he was totally shocked. He said "Oh my gosh it's Corey!" I love that Aly looks so much like his daddy, and I had a seriously good time putting these pictures of him together. I feel like going to his bed and waking him up with squeezes and kisses because I just love this kid. I know I'm his mom but come on... is he not like the cutest baby ever?!? Plus this week is his birthday so I'm feeling all gushy about him at the moment. You other mom's can relate I'm sure.

It's been so fun to be here in Illinois and actually do a lot of the things that we have talked about and wanted to do for so long. These three were not the only things, but I need to go to bed now. More marathon blogging tommorrow!
