Ruby Lou Conquers the Bike!

This little Rublet has learned to ride a two wheeler (in May).  She is incredible.  I love watching her ride, it reminds me of when I first learned.  She was brave and persistent, just like she should be.  I think she is awesome.  We rode from our house to my parents house (5km) and she did it all herself.  It involved a little bit of coaxing and some 'you can do it' chanting but she did it!   Noni is still working on learning how to steer his tricycle but he will get there one day... right?  He is awesome too.  Eldy is getting used to the bike trailer and slept the whole time instead of screaming at me- so that was a great improvement I would say!  

Farewell Summer Friend

This summer has been good to us.
We were able to vacation with friends and family.
Have cousin camp.
Enjoy the great, sunny, beautiful weather.
Spend all our time together.
And get settled into our new home!!
We are going to miss the summer...
The first day of fall is tomorrow.
And we all know that only lasts a day (maybe 2 if we are lucky)
Then onto the first day of winter.

Pictures of my kids crying should cheer us all up.

 Noni doesn't cry all that often so it is hard to catch it on film.  I'll just post this awesome picture of him enjoying a vanilla bean frappuccino on what may be the last day of good weather we see in a while.  I miss Ohio...
