Alina and Tessala have recently become bike-brains.
Tessala is particularly rabid about it. I never mention to anyone that it took her two years to get off training wheels.
I often join in on my roller blades.
As always, Beanies abound. (Parents of girls will know what I'm talking about.)
Alina is very good with children, and enjoys playing with them sometimes at the little park across the street.
I don't know if it shows, but Alina was crying for help at this point. Dad, of course, had to get a picture first.
One of the things Tessala likes to do is balance. She takes after me in that respect.
Tessala also likes to occupy the only swing at the park.
