Callum's First Baseball Game

We finally went to an Angels game today. Normally we go a few times each season, but for various reasons this year we haven't made it until now. Today was the last game of the regular season.

It was also Callum's very first game (outside the womb at least). We had really great seats in the first row, right behind home plate to celebrate the occasion.

Friday In New York

Tara and Rory drove up from Philadelphia to hang out with Jen on her last night in New York.



$5 to anyone who can guess what Rory is doing behind Jen to cause her to react this way.

Entirely for Leon's Benefit

A long time ago (sometime in the last 12 months), my sister and brother-in-law sent Callum a present. It was a Wallaby's Rugby Onesie. For the sake of brevity I will assume everyone reading this is at least familiar enough with "Rugby" to know it is a sport. The "Wallabies" is the nickname for the Australian national team.

Anyway, when I was in Australia in July, Leon claimed he had not seen a single photo of Callum wearing the sacred onesie. So here is a photo from this afternoon proving that Callum wears it proudly, often.

New York, New York

Jen is in New York all this week teaching.

As luck would have it, out of all of the buildings in Manhattan, the company she is training is located in World Trade Center building 7 - the new one. The original building #7 was destroyed on 9/11 after debris from the 2 main towers set the building on fire on multiple floors, it eventually collapsed around 5pm.

Here is a photo Jen took out the window of her classroom. The classroom looks down on the site of the two main towers, ie. "ground zero". As you can see the site is under heavy rebuilding construction now.



As if all of this wasn't creepy enough, the training was originally scheduled for a couple weeks ago, which means Jen would have been there on 9/11.
