Weird Sightings in Chicago

Huh? We were driving by the mall today on the way to drop my parents off at the airport and this is what we saw! Apparently the mall police ride horses in Chicago??

Baby Love

Hannah's friend who lives just across the hall from her was pregnant the same time I was and her baby girl Brielle was born just a couple days after Owen. So we betrothed them... and aren't they a cute couple? Brielle is a lot more advanced when it come to body strength and control, she sort of makes Owen look like a dough boy.

The Little Red School House

Today for Chicago fun Hannah took us to a Forest Preserve with a little red school house...full of of taxidermy animals, turtles and of course the famous three legged frog.

We Made It!

We made it to Chicago about 52 hours after we first boarded in Portland. It was a long trip but the boys did amazing. Linus was happy and entertained the entire way. We just put in a movie the last afternoon to make Grandpa happy since he bought Linus a new DVD player for the trip.

Delayed....

Who would have thought? Not me! Apparently, trains can be delayed too.
On this day we encountered Track repairs which forced us to sit in a station for about an hour and then there was a slower speed that had to be maintained on the newly laid tracks for a little over an hour. Unfortunately, this pushed our arrival into Chicago back enough to where we encounter commuter traffic all the way into Union Station. All in all we lost about 3 hours. Which feels like an awfully long time when you have already been sitting on the train for 48!


Here is our lovely train and where we got to spend the time we were waiting for them to finish the track repairs.
