This is a very familiar scene for you. It doesn't seem to matter where you are, you love to run, jump, and spin. You'd just finished riding the carousel and took off running, threw off your shoes and spinning and jumping. Seeing your free spirit on the loose is one of my favorite things. As a result, you will probably either hate or love the collection of pictures we have of you depicting that.

You've been taking a ballet class that has been fun. You've developed some confidence in your skills and have no trouble trying to teach Ben how to spin.

You are more social than ever trying to make friends wherever we are. If there are no other kids, you beg me to call some of your friends to join us. If that doesn't work, you gladly order Ben around and try to get him into trouble. He's quickly learning.

Your dad has been helping you set up your first art show called the Artomatic and you've been thrilled with getting your wall painted so you can hang up your photography. It should be a lot of fun. He's also been exploring bugs with you since you love it so much.

This spring and summer will be a busy one with a trip to Coffeyville planned and visitors coming to DC and the new house being finished, but I'm sure we'll be enjoying ourselves.
