Everything went well with Clara (15 minutes... in and out).... and we were off to her dance class (Alex and the sitter were meeting us there later). We ended up catching an express train that didn't stop again until we got to our stop! We made it down into the loop in about 5 minutes!! That gave her plenty of time to change and eat her salad she had picked out as a snack. Plus she got to hang out with her friends. They were all giggly yesterday.... they have a post-Nutcracker slumber party tonight and they had plans to make :-)
We were supposed to meet friends to skate last night.... but with the temperature and the fact everything was going to be pushed back due to Alex's class, we didn't end up meeting. Alex was hungry after all of his wrestling, so we went out to dinner with a couple of the moms from class. He was re-energized after that and asked if he could still go skate. Sure, why not? So we walked over to Millennium Park for a little bit of skating.
I was playing around with our little point and shoot camera and decided to try some without flash...

A close-up of Alex coming to see me....



I think my next present to myself might be a better point and shoot. The one I use now is a freebie Jeff got at a trade show years ago. With this photo a day project, I want to try to always have a camera on me and it can't always be my big camera. I don't need it to do anything fancy.... I would just like a little higher quality image. I do have some money coming my way... I came in second in our fantasy football league this year :-) Maybe I should go poke around on amazon to see what I can find!
