Will and Peyton reunited....finally! 
February 14th we picked up a pretty special 'package' at the airport - the Steffen family! Will, Nic, Scott and Alex came all the way from warm Charlotte to visit us (in February???) here in Chicago! Peyton hadn't seen them since we moved Feb. 2008; I wasn't sure how Will and Peyton would respond to one another...but they picked up beautifully!
They arrived Sat. about lunch time and flew out Tues. about 4pm - we were busy, busy, busy all weekend. The time went by so quickly, as usual when special friends/family visit, that we (Nic and I) didn't get all our talking in...can you believe it? After they left I thought of things to tell her, show her...both of us thought 'why didn't just us girls go out for a cocktail or ice cream?'.
We tried some great new restaurants (some thanks to Diners, Drive-In's and Dives on The Food Network), visited Legoland Discovery Center, went downtown (braving the cold) to the Children's Museum, showed the family where Peyton takes ballet during her class, and played LOTS and LOTS! Will and Peyton played so well together and picked right back up where they left off, minus some of the tiffs they had!
Taking them back to the airport on Tues. was really hard, especially not knowing when we'll see them again. Not sure who was crying more, me or Peyton (I think it was me; she was really sad though). She talked about Will non-stop for days...thankfully we had the distraction of hopping our own airplane a few days later to visit Grandma and Granddaddy in CA...stay tuned for that next post soon! Thanks again to Will, Nic, Scot and Alex for coming to visit; we had a great time and miss you like crazy!

Great slide show! I especially love the one of Alex and Willow! Brings back memories of a great trip!
You all look like you had a great time!
I know you all had a great time together! Kids are amazing- they just fall right back into their friendships. I think its a reflection of the adults friendship too!
