While we were in Florida, Barry was telling us about his journal which he has had for over 20 years and has written in every single day! It was pretty interesting to go back three years and find out the exact happenings of a particular day.

She loves this last activity and can do it perfectly.

Caroline and Akeva's visit:
Sasha's activities with me consist of challenging her mentally. But as soon as James comes home, she gets her much-needed physical challenges! She chases, runs away from, climbs up and dances with Daddy:
