Baltimore Trip

We recently took a trip to Baltimore. Here are some photos.

Steve took Raina to a park to enjoy some outdoor time while Pam got a chance to take a nap in the car.



Yummy watermelon at Julie (Lin), John (Rhodes), and Dylan's house.

A great mountain bike ride at Patapsco.

The car ride to the airport (Ft. Lauderdale - that's Jules on the right)



At Julie (Lin) and John's (Rhodes) place we got to see baby Dylan.



A great time at the Modlin's (Julie's parents) in Severna Park, MD.

Raina on the potty

Today we got out the potty. It's kind of big for her so I think we'll get a couple little ones. The goal: potty trained before 3!

Raina at South Pointe Park - with bumps and bruises from a fall yesterday.

Morning trip to beach and South Pointe Park (& puppies for sale)

A morning visit to the beach.

Birthday Girl

Raina is one year old now! Here are some photos from her birthday day. (I still encourage friends and family to join Facebook to see more. It is harder for me to get to the blog these days as it takes extra effort to upload pictures and videos. Facebook is great - we can upload photos, videos, and comments even from our iPhones. Let me or Steve know if you need help doing this. It is really easy and you could restrict your friends list to only the people you want, e.g., me, Steve, and other family members.)

Raina's First Bike Ride

Raina got to ride for the first time using her new helmet and Wee Ride.

Boxing

I've been taking boxing classes at the South Florida Boxing Gym here in South Beach. It's been great. Now I am deciding whether to quit Crunch and get a full membership at the boxing gym or keep my punch card.

At any rate, I am really enjoying it. Also, there is nothing like punching something after a long day of teaching. Plus, it's a great workout.

Cinco de Mayo

April is ending

Here are some recent pictures. Yes, Raina does sleep sometimes. (And this is not even the oddest position in which she sleeps.) Also, a cute picture from Raindrop Daycare where she was hanging out in a wagon. This afternoon we had some fun at the beach.

A Trailer Ride

Steve took Raina for a ride in the trailer today. The weather was great!
