Tiny Tumbler!

By
Today was Leah's first tumbling class at the YMCA. Leah said her favorite part was "the jumpy jumpy," otherwise known as the trampoline. She is in the class with one of her very best friends, and the girls had so much fun, though at times caused a bit of mischief together! Here they are jumping with excitement:

I find it comforting that gymnastics leotards
