This is my favorite photo of Alex from this summer.

It was taken on July 4th while we were in New York City.

Standing on the ferry boat looking at the Statue of Liberty on the day that our country celebrated its independence was pretty cool.

But the coolest part for me was how excited Alex was to actually see Lady Liberty in person. He stood in the window for about 15 minutes and just stared at her.

You just have to know Alex to fully understand it.

He is one of those kids that is impressed by nothing.

Absolutely nothing!

But every once in a while, we get a little glimpse of something that excites him, something that puts him at a loss for words.
