Laila's new favorite indoor pasttime...

Watching the birds from the kitchen window . . .

Weekend Adventures...

Jeff, Renee, and Laila had a busy weekend. We went to Fort McHenry, Oregon Ridge Park, and Riverside Park. At Oregon Ridge Park, Laila tried her luck at swimming, but wasn't too impressed with the cold water. We'll have to bring some of Laila's friends next time.

Hey you...

Oregon Ridge Park - swimming

Oregon Ridge Park -- running in the sand!

Fun at the park...

Laila stole Jeff's side of the bed...

Excuse me Jeff, but you're ruining my beauty sleep.

Rooing...

Cupcake Thief...

Laila may look innocent, but the evidence is written all over her face!

Laila... the infamous cupcake snatcher

I thought I'd take a quick video of Laila being sweet and looking at the cupcakes, but by the time I had the camera ready...

. . . and I was so shocked that I spoke a bit of gibberish!

I'm being so good - treat please?

Ball in the house

I know all of us were raised to think that throwing a ball in the house is wrong, but playing ball inside with Laila has been a lifesaver on those cold, windy days when no one in their right mind would leave the house.

Thank you for my chewey, Aunt Miriam

I love Jeff

Working hard...

I don't know why Jeff and Renee spend so much time working on this stuff; grad school is a breeze!
