a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.

kiana: started rehearsals for her high school dance company this week – she could not be happier!
myla: there is a paved path that goes around our house and yard that is a perfect one-fifth of a mile. myla rode her bike around it fifty times to bike ten miles! (with her brother) she loves cruising on her electric scooter around it too – the kids time each other to see who can go around it the fastest!
If you want to get one of these electric scooters for your children…
