Beefcake and Chubby Muffin go to Southern California

Beefcake and Chubby Muffin meet their cousins and Aunt Leslie and Uncle Ross!

We just returned from a visit to Southern California to hang out with Ross, Leslie, Reed, & Cole. Reed and Cole came up with a few nicknames for Beckett and Talus...but Beefcake (Beckett) and Chubby Muffin (Talus) were the ones that stuck! We were also happy to see Arlene, Mike, Betsy, Ally, Hannah, Sylvia, Gary, Alberta, Rodney, and Leslie's grandma! Thanks Ross and Leslie for making our trip so relaxing and fun.
