This was the view from our rooftop pool. The pool itself was not that big, but it worked just fine for us. We could both touch & had the pool to ourselves a couple of times.

We went to Vail for Dad’s big birthday. He turned 40 & we thought we should do something special. We had an amazing time. It was such a relaxing, easy trip. We could definitely imagine doing this again. We stayed in Lionshead at Arabelle. It was a beautiful hotel & it made it was very…

My friend Anderson came over to play the other day. We played battleship, soccer, legos, & cars.

We went to visit Jack & Riley. They are working on their house. Marty knocked down some walls, put up some support beams & he’s putting down hardwood floors. I played Wii with Riley & Caden watched a cartoon movie in Marty & Vicki’s room. 

Alyona LOVED Higgins! She was so good with him. I was also super excited to have both Carol Ann & Alyona’s attention while I had to read. I love reading to someone new & they were both willing participants. Thanks! We had so much fun while you were out here. Hope it comes again before…

Dad got a longboard for his birthday (which Mom has possibly been riding more than Dad) & we’ve been trying to go for a nightly walk. It’s a goal. We have missed several nights for various reasons. We have also enjoyed several walks & stops at the neighborhood park for a quick monkey bar climb…

I have really gotten good at climbing across this bar. I had to show Aunt Carol Ann & Alyona how good I am!

A couple more favorites, especially the monkey. She was putting on a show. It was hard to say who was on display… She was adorable.

I was posing & asked Mom to take my picture. 

These were some of our highlights from the zoo. Alyona loves big cats, anything deer-like, giraffes & polar bears.
