Over the years, both of the twins have interests / obsessions that are important to them through stages. One of the things that has never changed is that both boys LOVE trains. Xander, in particular, really loves them. And with his photographic memory, he's always telling us the numbers off the engines and the cars that he's seen recently. His favorite, by far, is the Norfolk Southern trains that run through one of the big city parks here in our town. So while we're watching Connor practice or play lacrosse games, Xander is watching for trains. Norfolk Southern ones, not the CSX ones. And he can tell you which ones he saw on which day of practice!
