Before and After

Well, the sprinkler systems behaved themselves, so surgery happened this morning!

Once more, here's Ebby before:

And this morning, all dressed up in his surgical gown:

Even though we're no stranger to it, there's still something tough about watching them put your little ones to sleep, and when they're so tiny, laying that limp little body on that big bed in that big room full of equipment and walking away is just hard to do.

He woke up screaming heartily, but fell right back to sleep on my shoulder for another good 40 minutes I'd say.

That gave me enough time to finish what I'd been working on in the waiting room...you see, we typically have our kids look in their stockings on St. Nicolas' Day, which is December 6th. When Owen and Leah were little we called it Little Christmas. I've cross stitched a stocking for myself back in high school, then one for Matt, then Owen and Leah. My mom had done one from the same series for herself and one for my dad, but since she's learned to knit, she let me have those two for Reuben and Rinnah (pick out the old name, add the new!) I managed to get one done for Krassi and Evania, and then I picked the name out of mine for Bobbi. I'm still working on Gloria's. Maybe next Christmas! But for Ebby I just took Dad's and picked out the name (but kept the "E") and was able to finish up during surgery this morning! Because of the surgery, we'll have the kids dig into the stockings tomorrow instead of today.

So now, all the stockings are hung by the gas fireplace with care...

As you can see, Gloria's using a blank one again this year, and Mira's still using a blank one (which we put some candy for me and Matt, since Mira's not much into candy, and neither of us have our own anymore!) By next year maybe I'll have Gloria's real one done, and then I can start in on something for Mira. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do for her, though, because I've now used all nine that come in that series!! But seriously, that's pretty low on my Challenging Decisions list. I've got bigger fish to fry, and we'll cross that bridge when we get there!

All in all, Eben is doing quite well. He spent most of the afternoon sleeping on my shoulder, but perked up a bit around supper time and before bed. The eye looks pretty rough. But that's to be expected. There's a 20% chance that he'll need to repeat the surgery to get it just right (that seems high to me!), but we're hoping that we hit the 80% that are just right the first time.

Eben's surgery...as far as we know

Well, here we go again. Barring the unforseen (like last time, when we got a call the night before saying the surgery center's sprinkler system went off so everything was canceled), Eben will have his corrective surgery for his strabismus tomorrow morning.

It only took 14 months...

...but Bobbi's back up on the treadmill again!!! The recovery from this surgery is still progressing steadily, but it's been a MUCH slower process than I think any of us were prepared for. She's not very fast, but she's finally fast enough to be able to go at .6mph, which is the slowest speed that Grandma's treadmill will go. She managed five minutes yesterday, and today went for ten minutes total, though took a few breaks along the way. Her goal is to get back up to walking for an hour.

Because she still has issues with her legs crossing, and she's not fast enough to be able to correct as she goes (which she can do when she's just walking on the ground), Dad created a fantastic device that puts a board between her feet held in place by the uprights on the treadmill.

Bobbi doesn't like the sound of Daddy's favorite tool, the impact driver. 😁 Thus her goofy face! I tried taking a video, but made a joke, and she laughed and lost her stride and I had to rescue her, so no videos yet.

Home for the holidays

Guess who got to come home last night instead of being admitted! They want her on an antibiotic because her lungs do sound "wet" and there was enough evidence in the x-ray to warrant treatment, but she wasn't so bad that she needed to stay!

Busy week

1) Tsvetomira had a birthday! As of Monday, she's 14 years old. We ate ice cream with sprinkles in her honor, and sang (with one of us touching her so she could at least feel what we were singing!)

2) Matt finished the shelf that separates the opening between the living room and his office! Along with that, he was able to put in the last piece of floor trim in the living room, so the living room is finally completely done. Now all he has to do for the west addition that we began over six years ago to be finished is to do a bit of sheetrock mudding, sanding and painting on the doorway into his office. Not bad.

3) Tsvetomira qualifies for nursing-level care, and has officially been approved for up to 38 hours a week as of July, but we haven't been able to find someone, until this week! On her birthday, we had a nurse start her training. She'll come three mornings a week for about four hours just to help with Mira's morning cares in the hopes that a) Matt can get to his desk sooner and b) we can keep closer tabs on how she's doing overall and hopefully catch her declines sooner. It's a great arrangement. Her son goes to school a mile and a half from our house, so she drops him off and comes here. When school's off, she can stay home with her son as those days are generally more flexible for us anyway.

4) Bobbi, for the first time, was told by a person she had just met that they couldn't tell at all that she had an accent! It's definitely still there, though diminishing continually, but it was kind of cool for someone to be that surprised that she was born in a different country and didn't start learning English until she was 16 years old!

5) Daddy and Mira, after a six month hiatus, have made their trip together down to the ER at Regions to check out her lungs. She's such a tough call to make. Over the afternoon she just went downhill, so after pie at church tonight, they headed down. Of course, he reported that they got there and she was satting at 96% on room air, instead of the 90% or lower that we'd been seeing while she was on oxygen here at home. But they said her lungs sounded "wet" which they didn't yesterday when our nurse was here, and they'll be doing x-rays. Very probable that she'll be admitted to Gillette. But still, six months in between is a definite record for her!

6) Our friendship with Gillette began nine years and one day ago today. It was two days before Thanksgiving, 2010, when Reuben went into Gillette as a "normal" kid and on his second day had his first two really big seizures, and BOOM, just like that we had a diagnosis of epilepsy the day before Thanksgiving.

"Before" we knew anything

"After." Still just our sweet little baby boy.

It was exactly nine years ago today that I woke in the night needing to use the bathroom (ten weeks pregnant with Rinnah), and walked to the hallway bathroom instead of risking using the in-room one and waking Reuben. It was standing outside that bathroom door that I had the revelation: I'm not afraid to adopt a child with special needs because I am already the mother of a child with special needs. I just didn't know it until today. It almost made me want to ask Matt if he wanted me to run Mira down tonight instead of him, just to walk down that same hallway on this anniversary. Never did I dream what God had in store for us, and it's humbling to look back and remember those little steps he was already taking to prepare us for this and whatever still lies ahead.

6b) Ebenezer is, within a week, the same age that Reuben was when we got Reuben's initial diagnosis. It's been an interesting anniversary this time around as we have another 16.5 month old little male human around the house - but a very different one from Reuben.

 

 

We call Eben our Duplo Man because he loves to build and disassemble these towers! He's really picky about the blocks he uses - they have to all be the same size - none of the double tall or double wide make it into HIS towers!!

7) And tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Our church had its annual Pie and Thanksgiving night tonight, and the theme this year was Ebenezer, as in a time of remembering how God has helped us up to this day as a way of encouraging each other to trust in his continued care into the future. Fitting, I'd say!

?) I didn't mention it, but we've been without Big Blue for three weeks!!! After an original estimate of $12,000 to repair it, we found another smaller shop that could do it for less, but it would take longer as they didn't carry the parts on hand, so would have to order them piecemeal as they needed them. For a few thousand dollars in savings, we went for it. It's SO nice to have our vehicle space back as of yesterday! We were grateful that Owen has bought himself an old pick up truck that seats five, so we could at least still get to church on Sundays while down our big vehicle!

Our pudgy boy.

And, no, I'm not talking about Eben, though he would sure fit the bill!

I'm talking about KRASSI!!! After a year in which he basically stayed the same (actually down a few ounces), he has, over the last three or four months, put on seven pounds!!! He's got the tiniest hint of pudge on his belly. ;)

After learning that he had not gained anything over a year, we re-evaluated how we were feeding him, and strategized ways we could get extra calories into him. For starters, we're just making sure that we're getting quantity into him at each meal. We aim for close to 2 cups of food instead of the one and a half that we'd been content with for a while. Additionally, we've added two snacks into his day - a pudding cup! - because we recognize that there are limits to how much we can increase the quantity at a single meal. His school has been really on board (which reminds me that I should share this happy news with his teacher, too!) They are responsible for the morning snack time, and they have an actual board on the wall in his classroom where every week they look at the school lunch menu and choose the items that they know Krassi prefers so that when whoever goes down to get his lunch (they puree it in the classroom), they know to, for example, avoid the green peppers. ;) We give him another pudding cup when he gets home, with a hefty tablespoon of whole milk powder in it for extra oomph, and then he's got time to digest that before supper time.

Apparently it's working.

Here's a picture his teacher sent from a few weeks ago.

Shaving cream! What fun! We can smell it on him on the days they play with it at school. ;)

Snow record

A little picture of life around here:

From left to right...

Baby Blue track down the driveway (courtesy of Dad and Mira for a dental appointment)

Fat tire bike up the driveway (courtesy of Owen biking home from his morning at the high school - he's still home schooled in the afternoon. He usually comes up the driveway on the back tire only!)

Footprints up and down the driveway (courtesy of Mom going to get the boys off the bus, and the FedEx guy dropping a package at the front door)

The only thing missing is cat prints!

Last Sunday

These photos were taken at church last Sunday. This day has been a while in the coming, beginning with Bobbi's inpatient rehab stay at Gillette last November and December. She surprised us (greatly!) by telling us when she was packing to go to the hospital that she did NOT want her music, but wanted instead the Bible that our Bulgarian friend Silvana had purchased for her over a year ago. Any of you who know ANYTHING about Bobbi know that she'd rather go without breathing than be without her music. Her music is her life.

So, off she went, and about halfway through her stay, I posted this.

Soon after, she started building up her music again, with this as the first song:



It's been quite a ride since then, and we anticipate it will continue to be so, but it's now nearly a year later, and this remains the focus of most of her days. She's spent a good deal of time talking with us and with her pastor before deciding to take the step of being baptized - she has many doubts, primarily about herself, but decided it was right for her to act in obedience to Jesus by being baptized and publicly declaring in front of the church congregation that she has chosen a life of trusting and following Jesus.

I realize this is a bit much to mush something that we're almost a year into now into one short little post, but that's the way it's got to come if it's going to come this week before those pictures are a month (or more!) old!

Bulgaria photos

I just realized that I had "Bulgaria in photos #2" nearly finished...but not posted, so I figured I'd publish it tonight. I'll probably need to make a #3 in order to get the rest of them at some point, but since I had all of this work already done, there was no need for it to sit as a draft. I adjusted the publish date so it stays in order, so here's the link back:

Bulgaria photos #2

Mister Potter

There has been a request for photos. Particularly of the cat, of all things. 😊

So I'll oblige, but with the caveat that photos only capture moments, and I, as the author, am the one in charge of choosing which moments are shared. This last year has been filled with so many weighty issues that just don't belong in a public place like a blog because they involve people other than me who don't need their intimate struggles displayed for anyone to see. It seems deceptive to post sunny, happy photos not because we haven't had many, many sunny, happy moments and days and weeks throughout recent times, but because those have been so punctuated by the other side as well, and those other sides first of all don't photograph well, and secondly, aren't things I am free to write about.

So, if you'll promise not to look at these photos and marvel at what a wonderful, story-book life we have, you may continue reading! (A wonderful life, yes. Story-book, no. Just had to be clear on that. A life lived in the light of God's glory is always going to be a life full-of-wonder.)

[Ahem] Mister Potter, as he turned out to be at his second vet appointment (so much for telling Bobbi she could pick any kitten she wanted as long as it was a girl! We thought the kitten was a girl!!), is now Tsvetan Brian Potter, and is a pretty awesome cat. He's grown a ton, though doesn't look quite as big in real life as he does in the photo!

Bobbi continues to get out almost every day to walk in her walker on the path in front of our house. She's so steady that we can get her set up, and then she's off all on her own until she's ready to get back into her chair and come up the driveway. She's getting faster, too. What was taking her almost an hour at the beginning of the summer is now completed in about 40 minutes. To get more distance she'll either have to back track or learn how to cross the street to get to the next block. (It's a little more of a slope down at the corner than she's quite ready for yet. The crossing itself she can handle.)

As we were heading out to Bulgarian dance class today, we waved to Bobbi and she flagged us down to get help from Leah with changing the song on her iPad.

Ebenezer is walking! About two months ago he had his surgery to open up his tear ducts, which went really well. This week he has both his pre-op and one final visit with the surgeon to prepare for the bigger surgery where he'll go in shorten/lengthen the muscles in his eye so the two eyes align with each other. Eben was born four days after Reuben's birthday, so his age this fall is exactly the same age that Reuben was in the fall nine years ago when he was still (so far as we knew) our "ordinary" third child. The days leading up to Thanksgiving are always kind of emotional for me as it flashes me back to when Reuben's epilepsy was first diagnosed the day before Thanksgiving 2010. For the last six weeks or so, watching Eben, the first baby boy I've had since Reuben, I keep catching and twisting up inside as I relive in a totally different way those glorious fall days when Reuben's seizures had started (September 2010), but they were mild enough that we hadn't put together that anything was truly out of the ordinary yet. I'm anticipating being quite emotional when this little boy has to be put under for his eye procedure so close to the anniversary of when our grand entry into the life of the medical world and special needs started nine years ago. Same time of year, same age baby boy.

Krassimir has enjoyed some great fall weather. Today when I asked him if he wanted to go outside, he gave me one decisive, resounding thump on his chest (ASL for "I want!") We found a pretty awesome piece of styrofoam in the garage for him to scratch on. Good day!

Reuben's been enjoying the nice weather, too. Because he gets so cold so easily, it's harder for him to play outside during the winter than it is for some of the other kids. He's been able to come out and help me with some of the routine tasks in the garden. "Reuben, pick up the pumpkin and put it in the wheelbarrow."

Gloria is growing up so much! She was just a baby when we started the adoption process for Bobbi and Mira - twelve days before she was born was when we sent our commitment documents! And look how grown up she's getting!

Oops. Another one of Eben "snuck" in. This one puts me in stitches every time. He's all head and thighs!!

 

He was watching me massage Mira's hands one day, and decided to try it himself! It's hard to believe that this girl hasn't been hospitalized since May!!! She's such a delicate balancing act, but we seem to have a number of things working for her, even as dumb as the one-half suppository every other day routine which keeps her regular, which keeps her calmer, which prevents regurgitation when she's straining too hard to move her stool, which can be aspirated, and BOOM! pneumonia. Who knew half a suppository could have such good results!! Of course, we're coming up on the season of exciting respiratory adventures, so we're expecting we'll end up with some time at our favorite hospital before the winter's over, but that doesn't stop us from being grateful for five months free!

 

Have to sneak in another one of Krassimir that his teacher sent me. Look how good he looks sitting up in the chair at school!!! First year of high school this year for him...and Owen, too. They're both at the same high school (where Bobbi graduated from last year). 

This is, as I mentioned, Owen's freshman year of high school, and ALSO his first year not fully home schooled. I still get him for a few classes, but he's got the first four class hours of the morning next door at the high school, and it's been a great thing for him. Here he is playing soccer with Gloria on a rare day when he had some time to spare for his siblings. She was tickled, and he kept looking over me asking discreetly, "What am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea what the rules of this 'soccer' game are!!!" He he. 

Gloria and Evania are so sweet growing up together. They are 21 months apart, but are often mistaken as twins. Here they were helping me back up 4 loaves of green tomato bread (Gloria) and four loaves of pumpkin bread (Evania).

It hasn't been ALL beautiful weather around here. Rinnah's in the center of this photo (in blue) playing her last soccer game of the year two weeks ago on a COLD and windy Saturday. Yikes!!

And Matt's actually gotten time to push the bathroom forward little by little. We're now bathing in the new one, and best of all, the sink for the "vestibule" between the hallway and the new bathroom (the space that used to be the old bathroom) has been hung!! It sounds silly, but this tiny room is my current favorite room in the house! We can stand there and brush our teeth - often four at a time - while someone is using the toilet or bathtub in private! Amazing.

There. Something to keep you going!!

Truth

Was thinking today that, really, that most of the internal mess that any of us deal with in life comes when we're not knowing and acting on the truth, and that the inverse is true - the answer to any situation we find ourselves in is to dig down for what is true, believe it and live it.

There. Was that obtuse enough after a solid month or more of silence?

Toilet!

When I began this blog over six years ago, I never anticipated I'd have a post with that title, nor how very excited I would be about it!

Here, at long last, is the toilet. The same old toilet that's been in this house since pretty much forever, but in a wonderful new location.

And remember, I said the off-center shelf would make more sense compositionally once it was all in place.

We haven't tried yet, but theoretically, Bobbi should be able to use this all by herself!! It might take a week or two of practice (and it will be nice when the old bathroom tile is pulled out so there isn't a gap in between the old and the new), but now at least she can *start* practicing!!

In the long term, this bathroom will have great benefits for Reuben, Krassi, and Mira (and us in caring for them), but in the immediate, it's Bobbi who will experience the greatest change.

Grout. Sink. Toilet?

Yesterday our neighbor came over to learn how/help Matt grout the tile on the walls...

...so that this afternoon he could move the sink from the old bathroom into the new one!

And so tonight after supper, Bobbi was able to brush her teeth at the new sink!

She's been doing more and more of her brushing while standing. She still needs someone standing near her because her balance isn't the greatest yet, but she's getting there! She can lean against the sink, and hold on with her non-dominant hand while she brushes. The trick is that the toilet is still in the old location, so is completely blocking the way, so Dad has to carry her out there. Not to mention all the other stuff blocking the way! (Note: this photo was taken before the sink was in - the red spot on the far wall is the water supply and waste line coming out of the wall.)

Supposedly Matt was going to be working on getting the toilet moved tonight, too. That would be AMAZING because, once that toilet is moved and the grab bars are in, Bobbi will be able to go to the toilet by herself for the first time since last October!!! That will be nice for her and for us.

The bathroom is still coming

Every month or so, Matt gets part of a day or two to get out to the bathroom. Yesterday was one of those days, and significant progress was made!

People will comment sometimes that I am very patient. My reply is often that it's because God has given me LOTS, ........L.....O.......T........S......... of practice.

The results of yesterday's labor:

The shelf above the toilet is installed (still needs to be varnished). The off-center will make more sense when it's all finished. It's a result of building against the existing wall and where the vent stack is, but we've got a plan...

 And the tile on the sink wall is 70% or so completed!

Bulgaria in photos #2

*I just realized I had never posted this!!! I'm so sorry! I'm going to back date it so it's in order with the other photos, even though it's two months later when I'm getting it up!**

Tuesday morning: step one. Get down six flights of stairs. Echoing in my head are Silvana's words about the elevator in her apartment when she and I were emailing the week before we left for Bulgaria: we should plan to meet at a restaurant and not have dinner in our eighth floor apartment because our elevator is broken, and they're going to fix it next week, which in Bulgaria might mean next summer. So we made sure Bobbi had everything she needed (toilet? teeth brushed?) before we carried her and her chair back down. Down is easier than up!

Today we went with Lili to a larger park (the north end of South Park) where she enjoys people and animal watching, and we rode on one of the newer buses that we'd seen around the city. It has, in the floor, a fold-out ramp, and the ability to lower the bus down slightly on that side. It would take quite a strong person to wheel themselves up the ramp, but with someone pushing her (thanks, Dad) getting into the bus was pretty easy.

Gotta love the Batman hat (a nod to her grandpa, who she's nicknamed Batman), and the floral shirt (a gift from her teacher). It's very Bobbi, and I do love it!

Oooh - pretty, tasty things in the mall we walked through to get to the park.

Walking through the park. I have a great appreciation for cities that use up real estate for public parks like this. There were people biking, walking dogs, or pushing babies, or sitting on the grass, dogs running and playing - a very active, pleasant space.

Look! I really was in Bulgaria, too. This small monument talks about Bulgaria and the US partnering to plant these trees.

There are quite a few small parks throughout the city, too, like this one - just half a block wide and a block long, but provides a nice breath of fresh air in between the tight together apartment buildings.

This was so cool - out in the country/villages, almost every house has one or more grapevines and other kitchen garden things in the yard - no lawns like we're familiar with here! So, what do you do if you live in an apartment? Well, you share! These units, one above the other, each have trained a branch of the vine to grow across their balcony, and the picture below shows clusters of green grapes just hanging there. Pretty neat.

This pretty stray reminded us of Tani!

We split up around lunch time, letting Lili take the bus back home because we intended to do some serious walking, and with her artificial limb, that wouldn't be something she'd want to do! The path that google maps marked out for us took us through this incredibly delightful wooded trail. We passed a few moms walking babies and dogs, a few older people walking alone, and lots of time just to ourselves on a nearly perfect day.

This was an interesting bridge, built completely from 3-4" diameter logs.

And when we came out on the other side, there was the entrance to the Sofia Zoo! (We knew it would be here, as we were going to try going through if Bobbi was interested.)

Notice the marked accessible parking. I don't remember seeing these when I was in BG in 2013 the way I did in my 2016/17 and current trips. Of course, in many places they're marked on cobblestone streets with no curb cuts, but the infrastructure is slowly, slowly coming.

Black swans:

An interesting statue:

Nasty big snake:

Meerkats!!

This chameleon is So. Awesome. His colors, his eyes (can move independently! and even if they didn't, they were just cool), his feet - entirely amazing.

Tiny, perfect snake.

This is Slavcho. :)

A really cool bear:

Awesome horns!!

Ever heard a zebra before? Well, we did. Wow. Here's a link to a youTube video so you can hear it yourself. That's really what it sounds like!!

Aren't these neat? Bottle caps!

Bobbi's favorite. And more proof that I really was there.

More lovely sidewalks. Though, really, solid paved surface is a truly lovely Bulgarian sidewalk.

A pretty, lush garden along the way.

Getting close to where we were staying - brand new buildings and empty lots...and more solid paved sidewalks.

Another newer apartment building near where we stayed - this was Bobbi's favorite:

Oh my - this restaurant was so very, very tasty. Just a little place near our apartment. Those potatoes in the upper right corner are some of the best I have ever tasted - garlic and dill and piping hot and perfectly balanced soft inside and crispy outside. Wow. Bobbi decided to try the lamb, and didn't like it (but I did) so we told her to go ahead and order something else. Matt's meatballs, also shown below, were beautifully presented. Without dessert, but with plenty of appetizers and the lamb on top of the other entrees, we got home to find that it only ended up being $39 on our credit card. Insanely inexpensive for the quality!

The next day, Wednesday, was the day we left the apartment. Here's Matt and Bobbi with Lili as we were getting ready to head out.

We're stubborn, so didn't want to get a taxi, but decided we'd walk to the Metro station. Google maps thinks its a 40 minute walk. We'd tried it earlier in the week (remember the snake!) so we knew the sidewalks were good enough that we could manage the bags. Still, we must have been quite the sight. We purchased a roll of packaging tape at the grocery store the night before and taped the walker to the huge suitcase, and the smaller of the two small suitcases to the handle of the red suitcase, and off we went. Matt had the two smaller and Bobbi (and the backpack.) I had my shoulder bag and the big cumbersome one. It took us an hour. Not too bad. Here Bobbi and Matt are waiting while I crossed the street to pick a big handful of junki.

Walk, walk walk.

And we made it! From the metro, we had to transfer at Serdika station, and then got off at the Lion's Bridge just a few blocks from our hotel. The rest of the afternoon we spent wandering our way through around the center of Sofia and picking up the last things we wanted to bring home. It was a delightful day of just sightseeing around the center, too. So many things to see, like this funny painted electrical boxes! Chickens and balloons in a cage??

Beautiful breads. Oh, look - it's another photo of me! Kind of...

Cute cats:

This one was...weird. Why does the sad, young girl have a fish skeleton tattooed on her arm?

These make moving around with a wheelchair challenging...and these covers are actually pretty flat and intact compared to some! But check out the spalling right before the first cover - that can hang up a chair pretty well if you're not watching! Something new is the yellow textured paving stones marking the crossing - they've been putting something similar in around where we live here in MN over the last few years, too. (This is a not-too-bad intersection!)

Does Bobbi look like the grafitti??

All the way across the ocean, and Subway. We did not stop. But check out the price. 3,69 lev! That's about $2 for a 6" sub.

Neat lion:

And, oh, the ice cream selection. We went back to the Confetti restaurant from Sunday and went in the other door so Bobbi could see the freezers. The labels are in Bulgarian and Italian. I did better with the Bulgarian! I tried raspberry mint this time, and it is now my new favorite flavor.

This view reminded me of a trip to NYC nearly 20 years ago:

Another box:

Road work - pull up the old cobblestones, pack it back down, and lay them back down again.

Does Bobbi look like the statue??? This one has always been rather ominous...I think I posted photos of it while we fed Krassi lunch one day in this same plaza.

Bobbi wasn't so sure she wanted to go see the old cathedral, but we told her she really should. It's pretty impressive, and a significant Bulgarian landmark.

AND, they had a ramp! The door at the top was blocked by a bench and a ladder, but someone official saw us and came to let us in.

Bulgarians are tough. This is King Samuel, who, according to Bobbi, was one of the first Bulgarian kings.

He's not someone to mess around with.

More ramps. I remember pushing Krassi up and down these ramps!

One of my favorite modern buildings in the downtown area, but here mostly fun because you can see us in the crosswalk across the street!
