Riding Bikes

The weather has been beautiful the past few weeks around here and the kids are enjoying their bikes. Sofia loves to ride Joshua's bike or scooter. Joshua will ride on anything he can. And Megan has finally learned to ride without training wheels. One evening we loaded up the kids and the bikes to head over to a nice path close to our house to let the kids ride.

Awana

Awana ended for another year. This is Megan's 4th year and Joshua's 1st. Megan just finished her second year of Sparks and the church just added the Puggles program for the 2s and young 3s. In the fall Joshua will begin in Cubbies.

When we arrived at the church Joshua said he wanted to wear his sunglasses inside to show his teacher. Fine. I only forgot to get them from him once I dropped him off in his room. So here he is being the "cool dude" up on stage. That boy cracks us up.

Megan had to say a verse when the Sparks went up to recieve their awards. She did great!

Here the kids are with their friend Ryan.

Our New Nephew

Two weeks ago I got a last minute ticket up to Chicago to visit my sister Lisa and her new baby boy, Jude. This is the first time in FOREVER that I've had a chance to do something KID FREE!!! It was wonderful!!! Lisa and I spent lots of time just hanging out and catching up. Our days were not filled with tons to do, like it often is when I go back "home". Jude is adorable. It was so wonderful to hold a newborn again.
