Trekkin...
Oh My! I'm so excited. Look what I got today! Did I forget to post about The Son getting his training wheels off? I did!
This past weekend, The Husband was sitting outside with The Son while I put The Daughter to sleep. He was just chatting with him while they ate a snack and talked about how when The Son got bigger they could take his training wheels off. The Son didn't want to. In true 4 year old wonder, 2 minutes later, he asked to try it. The Husband said sure but that he'd have to help him out. Once the training wheels were off, The Son insisted he didn't want help... got on his bike and off he went with nary a problem. Dumbfounded we were! He immediately started going off the "big" jump that we have been telling him for a year he couldn't go off until he didn't have training wheels. He is so proud of himself! He has told every single person imaginable about his feat! He wants to ride his bike constantly.
So, I got a bike! It's my first bike in, shit, oh, like 20 years probably! It's awesome and we got a killer deal on it too!
The Daughter's doing better! Hooray... but she's awake now.

Woo Hoo! I LOVE my bike! Are you going to get a trailer for Seren and bike her around? Laryssa loves hers. She talks to me about everything she sees on our rides together. It's so much fun :-)

I just got a bike carrier for her and just walked in from our first ride together! She's still tripping on the helmet but looked like she liked it :) I'm so excited! I'm going to cruise the bike path by our house (that's a half mile away I SWEAR ;-)) at least once a week...hopefully I'll develop a smaller ass with the practice!

Yay for Gavin, what a big boy! And yay for you and your new bike. So sorry to read about Seren's ear infection :( Poor baby. Glad she's feeling a bit better!

I still don't believe that park is only a half mile away!
BTW..I highly suggest getting on of those split seats. I had a gel cover for me seat for a while but still got achy in the crotch. Then I read about the split seat, it made a big difference!
I'm working up to 2 miles a day right now.

That is great, Julie. The bike look beautiful! And Gavin must be sooooo proud of himself. :-)
