Bikes and Trikes

We have had a fun beginning to the summer. Hannah is riding her bike very well. Brock has mastered the tricycle and is moving on to a bike with training wheels (thanks to our friends the Notts loaning us one for him to try). Our friends, the Baldwins, gave us their buggy to pull behind a bike for the twins. Corinne and Emma love it! Brent found a nice women's bike on the road in our neighborhood with a sign that said, "Free. Take it." so he took it. Now I have a bike to pull the twins. Brent's bike has a child's seat attached to the back (come to think of it, that bike and seat were given to us too several years ago...thanks to our friends the Peases' in VaBeach) so our plans are to head out to a nearby lake tomorrow that has trails. We rode around our neighborhood today and I didn't think I was going to make it...but I did...and Brent assures me there aren't as may hills at the lake. And to think some folks don't think God can provide all things!! We're a family of 6 ready to take off on a bike ride that's shows HE DOES provide more than we can imagine.

Hannah is enjoying her art class once a week. She has two more classes then it's finished. She really enjoys art.

Emma had scarlet fever (strep with a rash) at the beginning of the month but she's fine now. Hannah has swimmers ear but it's getting better. Corinne has a cold and cough but it hasn't slowed her down. I think she's on the mend. Other than that, we're all good.

I would take a photo of the kids on their bikes but I don't think my legs will cooperate right now. Maybe next time...

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

The last time I went bike riding some BIG dogs got after me. As I stood up on the pedals to really push and get some distance between me and the dogs my shoe lace got caught up in the gears. Once all the slack got wound up in the gear it flipped me right off the bike. Next thing I knew I was looking up into the teeth of an angry dog. No fun.
