Backtracking a little, here are some photos Jen sent me over the last couple weeks.

The weather’s been GREAT for a January. I’m sure glad we live where the weather generally stays nice year-round. Word has it we may be in for a little rain next week. In the meantime, Maya and Sparty enjoy some outdoor fun.

All great photos for my 2016 family calendar!

Sparty plays Peek-A-Boo.

Maya is a child after my own heart for sure – such a tomboy! This girl is fearless. She will do anything, and will stick with it until she gets the concept. In gymnastics they’re working on handstands where they put their hands on the floor, then walk their feet up the wall. At one point, she pushed her feet away from the wall and dropped backwards (a backbend from handstand!). She’s now also doing a backwards handstand/somersault, sliding over a large cushion – by herself! She will climb on the cushion, roll onto her back, slide her hands to the floor, then flip her legs/feet to the floor. I don’t carry my phone/camera during the class because it requires a lot of supervision, and I prefer to focus my attention on keeping Maya excited and motivated. You can take my word for it… she’s a little monkey. Fun, fun, fun.

After gymnastics, we had lunch at Nati’s with Papa Bill (sorry, no photo). I missed it last week because I had that stupid cold.

Bruce makes a rolling workbench his temporary office at 4754CM.

Here are “after” photos of the lifting of the floor at the front side of the living room. You can see where the concrete was poured for the new footings.

Bruce is working hard to get this job done. There’s still a LOT of work to do, but progress is being made. I’ll be heading there a little later to take more photos.

Blogged on Amma’s iPad with LOVE!
