Here's Mina's story from quiet time last week. In case you need some translating, that says "Once upon a time, Mina..." She said she got stuck there. That picture is of Mina looking at a heart. So maybe there's more to come? (Maybe not!)
Mina also just learned how to swim, which is a pretty good thing, since she joined the swim team this year!
We're all pretty proud of Marina on this point. In February we went to the indoor pool at Wintergreen, and she wouldn't even get off the steps. Look at our big girl now!
I'm making gains in this area too. My freestyle has gotten lots better. I even won my freestyle heat on Tuesday!
Mina can't wait until our next meet (which is today). She stores her participation ribbons under her pillow.
Swimming and writing isn't all we have in common these days. We also love the weather! Here's the forecast!
These are pictures from Storm Fest, which was a big event at the Museum of Natural Sciences. Michaela came out to see all the action with us!
And of course, Mina and I also have some very important friends in common. Our sweet next door neighbor is leaving for her annual Canada visit next week, so we celebrated her fourth birthday a few weeks early with a pool party. Here's pictures from Hannah's big day!
And so you can see Mina is catching up fast. The one thing she can't do yet is ride a two wheeler. So here we are, each doing what we do best. I ride, and Marina sings. Mom wants you to know that this was all our idea. She went in to change Jessa's diaper and came back out to this free musical event in the driveway. Nashville, watch out. A new singer is coming to town!
