The plane, the plane!

The father of one of my runners took me up in his paraglider. What an awesome experience! Now every time Luca hears the word plane he points to the sky and says, "Da-Da!"

Just before take-off.

Family Week

Luca got to see a lot of family this week! It started by visiting his cousins in Kentucky again. This time his other cousins from Michigan went, too. That meant that Grandma Katie had all of her grandchildren together in one place! We went to the Cincinnati Zoo and the kids had a great time!

Then we had a small family get together in Albion. It was nice to have everyone together for a cookout at Victory Park. Luca had a blast playing football and sliding with his cousins.
