best day ever


On da way to wide da twains wif Freddie!!!

Practicing driving the engine

Manly moment of the day...
Fred: "Will, do you want a train or a digger or a flower?"
Will: "a flower!"
And then a train, please.
Will, Chris and I got the royal treatment today
at the Tacoma Rail open house.
We were able to ride up on the engine with the
engineer during our train ride while the rest of the
hundreds of people sat in the regular old train car.
Will got to blow the whistle and sit on the engineer's lap.
And uncle Joe said his name over the walkie talkie which
he just about died over.
He was so serious the entire day about every little thing.
And was out before we got to the freeway.

Great fun. Good work family Torrone - you men and your trains! :) It certainly runs in the family.

Are you still pregnant? I'm on vacation but keep looking to see Charlie's first photos. I'll be checking in!...and thinking of you!

Sorry to hear the gestation continues. Isn't your due date this week? We are in Lake Tahoe, and someday we should get a group to come to my parents' house here. I'm anxiously awaiting an update that the man has arrived. Hope you are comfy.
