Family

Over the last week, a few of our relatives have been through our area. We were able to visit briefly with Aunt Sara, Cousin Blake and his girlfriend Tammy, and cousin Drew. Later in the week we also saw Aunt Maggie and Uncle Phil. Then we went to meet up with Aunt Kay. They all live out of the state, so we don't get to see them often. It was good to see you all. I hope our next visit will be longer. Hope you all had (or have) a good journey home.

Can you do this?

So, maybe since I have never quite mastered the concept of the Hula Hoop, this is quite extraordinary to me especially since she was only introduced to it a few months ago!

Future Gymnast?

Leah loved gymnastics! She is in a class with only one other child (another 3 year old girl). I was surprised that they still held the class. Good for Leah, though, as she gets lots of attention.

"Our Song"

Leah's favorite singer is Taylor Swift. She is a country artist. Of her songs, Leah's favorite song is called Our Song. Leah calls this song "MY SONG." This video is of Leah singing this song. Unfortunately, it does not accurately display how she sings it because usually she has a lot more attitude. Leah has a great way of becoming timid when I bring out the video camera!
