Looking down over Chicago from the Sears… uh, I mean, Willis Tower.

Angels versus Cubs.

Alex practices taking pictures with Jeff’s D3 while Emily poses

And here is the picture he took.

Alex during his first day of soccer

Alex celebrated his 4th. birthday in striped (conductor) overalls and an engineer cap at the train in El Dorado Park.

Emily stakes her claim as she and Alex look for shells on the beach.

Another day in Phoenix  and a visit to the McCormick-Stillman railroad park in Scottsdale, Arizona.

During our visit to Arizona we celebrated our friend Sam’s 3rd. birthday at the Phoenix Fire Department. The firefighters made us dinner, let us spray their hose, drove us around the block in their truck and let the kids try on their gear.
