No New News...Just Some Photos :-)


Whenever we go outside Darina wants to walk away from the baby house. In this picture we have to tell her that we can't go in that direction now but hopefully we can real soon.


Lately, Darina only wants to stay outside if there are other children outside too! Normally she's content watching, but today she wanted to play along side of them.

Darina was real comfortable with Mama watching the other kids play in the icky dirt.

With Mama looking around outside.

The other children loved to run through this maze, so Darina thought she'd give it a try.

In the "gym" there was a new piece of equipment. This one has a ladder, a rope ladder, and a rope. Darina loved when Mama or Dada swung her around on the rope like a swing.



The task before here... climb up the ladder!
Success! Once she got to the top (with plenty of help) she enjoyed looking down on us... and of course looked cute while doing so.



She loved it when Dada would trace the pieces from her animal puzzle, but because she needs to see everything she would take the piece away every few seconds, examine the progress, realize that we're not done yet, and kindly put it back in place to be finished. She also liked to trace the puzzle pieces herself and, to my amazement, did a pretty good job following the general shape.

Good for her and i love that headband! Bella is a headband girl too! I know you will be home just around the bend. Maybe you should give the court administrators access to your blog so they can see how well everyone is doing and send you on home!
Love you,
Aunt Kristie
