A couple weeks ago, the three of us headed to Gravelly Point on Saturday to watch the airplanes take off/land. Laina already was very interested in airplanes, but after this trip, her interest grew!

Tumbles. Jimmy. Slide. Jump. Swing. Zach. Roll. Tumbles. Run.This was another “story” I heard the other day after Laina’s JW Tumbles class. We’ve been doing it for almost 2 months now…and Laina has really enjoyed it most days. Here are a few pics.

until Laina gets to see her goose at least once a time. By her goose, I mean the wooden goose that is situated on our neighbor’s patio. For the past week or so, Laina has become fixated on this little guy. She talks about this goose a lot during each […]
