Cougar Game

We received invitation from Nicor for a match between Kane County Cougar and a team from Wisconsin. Everyone enjoyed their time at the game. It was Mina, kids and my first visit at the Cougar's and our first live game.
Both Matthew and Nathan had many sweeties and we ended up buying more than we planned from the vendors who visited us at our seats. Matthew got very close to the players from Wisconsin and chatted a little bit with them. There was also a photographer who took some pictures of Matthew.
Matthew also found a few friends of his own and ran with them up and down the stairs for a while. He ran off a couple of times, and it was challenging to catch up with him. One time he stopped to say hi and shake hand with Cougar's mascot, but didn't want to take pictures with him. It reminded me of out visit of the Disney World last year, where Matthew was trying to figure out where the zipper on the costumes were!
Everyone that I talked to, was happy that it didn't rain while we were at the game; though, we didn't stay for the fireworks at the end. The kids and Linnet were exhausted and I didn't want to overwhelm them more.

Breakfast with Nathan

Sharing my bagel with Nathan, has become a routin in my life. I enjoy sitting down and having breakfast with him.
Cleaning up his messy face is a small price to pay.

Grandpa Abdu'llah

This is a picture of grandpa that I remember before I left Iran. Enough cannot be said about grandpa, but he was one of the few family members who wrote to me. Anyone who knows me, is aware that I am not good at responding by writing and seldom call, but grandpa wrote to me regardless of my shortcomings. He always had this elaborated artistic way of explaining events that I felt I never left home. Last time I talked to him, he barely spoke few words. Miss you grandpa.
