Barb reading Leo the Lightning Bug on Christmas morning.

You've got to get your sledding in before the snow melts.

Leo wasn't sure about driving his own sled.

Merry Christmas

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are some stills from a movie I took.

He's always liked to go fast.

The next day we went on the Bolin Creek Greenway.

First, we went to the park.

We finally got a bike seat put on! Thanks Jeff, Alexander and Claire.

the oaks pool

Our community pool was closed until August due to a very unprofessional deck replacement. Leo got some good time in during the remaining tropical weeks. Now that it's only subtropical, he prefers to perfect his street performer act.

Some shopping after the music. Boy, I wish they'd had these when I was his age. Yes, it's really called the Bean.
