Visiting Maria in Chicago

It is hard to believe, but Maria is four years old as of the 12th of February. She shares this birthday with Lincoln and Darwin - auspicious company. Maria had a fun birthday party with her friends at a nearby bowling alley. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves even though they understood the game differently than most adults. Maria seems to be moving right along in her development. Her dancing is getting a little more body movement other than just jumping up and down, although that still plays an important part. Here are a couple of pictures from the party and a short video of Maria's new dance moves.
