Trains and classes

These are the tulips that have bloomed in tha past two days that are just in front of a building next to us. The tulips are EVERY WHERE here right now and are just gorgeous! We love seeing all the different colors and varieties.


May 5th ...
This is a picture of Bryan on his first day of on site classes. This is the sign that sits in front of the building. It says "Rehabilition Institute of Chicago." Northwestern University Prosthetic-Orthotic Center. Isn't he just so professional!!!! He even has his name tag he has to wear to get into the building!

This is one of the many signs around stating it is the #1 rehabilitation Hospital in America!!! Way to go Bryan for getting into their program!!!!
And I have to share with those of you familiar with the game Ticket to Ride. Kambria has even found a love for this game. We let her play with the small cards, and the "extra" trains. And she really thinks she is playing the game. She loves trains now that she sees one everytime we go outside since the "el" (elevated train) is just a few blocks east of our apartment. So the next few pictures are of her "playing" the game. She is intensely deciding which route to take...

She has decided and is putting them on them table now...
And then she says..."WIN!!" with such enthusiam!!! It really is quite cute!

This is our adventure for today...May 6th. Kambria and I left the house around 10:30am and walked to the closest Library to try adn get a library card, now that we haev recieved some mail here in Chicago to prove we live here. And we get there only to find out theya re closed today fro an inservice meeting. AGH! That was frustrating!!! So we continued on our walk to meet Bryan for lunch. So we found a cute little park that is only about 2 blocks away from Bryan's school. It was fun to have Kambria playing and then when "Daddy" got there she was even more happy! She is DEFINITELY a daddy's girl. She is always so worried when she does not know where he is or when he is coming back.

So these are the pictures from our park experience today.

Kambria decided she was done swinging and started to "get out" according to her. She can't fall out of the swings...it just looks like it in the pictures.
Swinging away with Dad.
This is how close we are to Lake Michigan...litterally across the street! How pretty huh?
