January

Here's a recap of January :)
Oli has been busy riding his new bike. This was his first lesson. He got it - sort of.


A few days later we went to the park to practice and it clicked - he was off, with Madelyn in tow.





This desk, chair and lamp used to be Brian's father's. Mary shipped it to him a few weeks ago. When Brian was younger he spent many nights at home studying on this desk. It's very special.

Oli's latest hobby is geography and maps. He loves them and always wants to know where we are.  He does this USA puzzle several times a day. He also has a big USA map in his room and has learned all the states.  No joke!  We didn't push him to do it - he actually wanted to.  When he sees a map, he asks, "What's this? And what's this? And what about this?"  He wants to know everything about it.


My cousin Jasmin came to visit for a few days. We went to Lucy and Leo's to celebrate her Birthday with cupcakes :)


The weather was beautiful so we went for a walk at Miccosukee Greenway.

This is the best we could do with automatic timer on camera.
