We just got back from Chicago. I went up to teach a class for the Fed, so Susan decided to go along. Unfortunately her mobility was limited by her broken foot. We spent the first four days with Rob and Sarah and then moved downtown while I was working at the Fed (when I retired, I also gave up commuting). It was nice to get some time with Rob, Sarah and the kids--we don't get to see them nearly often enough. Here are some pictures of the kids. It seems like every time we visit, one of them is camera shy. Last time it was the oldest. This time it was the youngest girl.
All but one:
The youngest granddaughter did allow this picture:
She has the cutest blonde curls.
The oldest girl really dotes on her little brother. He's about the happiest baby I've ever seen.
The two oldest. They make perfect playmates for one another. The oldest (left) plays drums and his brother plays guitar (Rock Band).
Both boys are playing baseball this year. I think they both are having a good time, but the second oldest practically sleeps in his uniform.
Both older boys are also into scouts. While we were there, the oldest took his mom on a mother/scout camping trip. We think she was very brave. She is a pure-bred city girl (she grew up in Greenwich Village in New York). But she held up well on the trip. Here's a picture of her setting out her tent to dry after the trip.
Her son seems amused by the process.
