Queen of the Hay Bale

Hey folks! Remember I told you you yesterday about how incredibly cool my friend Maya is? And how she can jump on hay bales?? Well Mom was oh so smart today and when we left for the walk, she grabbed her camera. Almost forgot it since I was SO persistent about leaving...

Catching up on things

Ok, it's been too long once again since I last posted. But that doesn't mean things have been at a standstill around here! For one, we got the glass replaced in the front door! And I got the bill yesterday which only came out to €63 so we're pretty pleased about that...
