The Gymnast Within

Lainey began her training this week for the USA olympic gymnastics team 2024. I think we are looking at a future champion! Look at this summersault...such perfect form!
Sweet victory!

Our New Almost Home

Thought all of you might enjoy having a picture in your mind of where we are! This is our "home away from home." We are really enjoying the church and the area. There is always a lot going on which helps to get to know new people. The villa where we are staying is great...but we cannot wait until our house sells and we are able to settle in our own home.
Our new church First Baptist O'Fallon, Illinois Saturday we took a trip to the St. Louis Zoo. Lainey seems to love animals and gets excited any time she sees one. The penguins and giraffes were a favorite. This chimp was on the other side of the glass and scared Lainey to death! She was happily staring at him until he turned to look at her. Suddenly our little girl who knows no fear grabbed her daddy's neck and burst into tears. She quickly recovered however and tried her best to go for a swim with this elephant. Next up was the sea lion show. I thought Lainey would love this and she did until the sea lion started barking loudly. Once again...grabbed my neck and burst into tears. Lucky for her Bailey, our shitzu, neither barks loudly nor catches raw fish in his mouth!
