Jenny’s Journal

Natalie has been taking a ballet class at her school after class once a week. Here she is dancing with her friend Claire. At the end of each class they each give a “performance” in front of their classmates. She seems to be very comfortable in the spotlight! Very unlike her mom at the same age….:)

It started out with booby traps, probably inspired by Scooby Doo, and has continued on into a fascination with putting objects together that make other objects move. Her creations usually involve train tracks, marbles and dominoes at the very least. This girls’ attention span can be HUGE when she is enjoying the process, as can her frustration when things do not go according to plan….

Here’s a video where all the bugs have been worked out already and it’s even set to a pretty cool soundtrack (Thanks Zina!):

The Lost Tribes of New York City from Carolyn London on Vimeo.

I just found (actually posted last year but lost the link. putting it back up for a couple people that have asked about it.) this random youtube video of my Dad and a friend flying these cool kites. My Dad, Larry Mauro is the one in dark blue.

And another, more about the plane.
