 Jane and Orson hanging at the park.
 Rowan liked chasing the front end loader.
Or ham : )
 Rowan got to fly to kite for the first time.
 He is learning how the string goes out fast when the wind picks up fast.
Rowan makes friends pretty quickly. He ran up to this boy and grabbed his hand and took off chasing and kicking his ball with him. After a few minutes they were laughing and playing together like best friends!

 He is learning to glide and coast on his bike. Balance is coming slowly but he is having a blast learning at the local bike park!
 We had a bike sale at my high school to raise money for our students. Rowan and I helped sell them in the rain.
 With every storm comes a rainbow.
