Aden's Glider Bike

Another quick post tonight. Here's a video of Aden riding his "glider" bike. Thanks to Devon and Andrew for telling us about this. We took off his training wheels and pedals so he could focus on balance and knowing when to put his feet down, and then had him glide down the driveway.

Aden was excited to try this once we told him that this is how Cru Jones (see links) learned to ride. The next weekend at Dave and Jean's house he picked up a bike with no training wheels and started riding around!

Fishing with Grandma

Grandma Cherie took Aden fishing a few weekends ago. He had a good time, and now knows that "fish like to jump when you catch them."

Aden with his catch. Notice Adalin running for cover, or maybe it was to get Mom.

Great big fish!

First time fishing with Grandma

The kids started school and are having fun. Addie started dance class again (now at a new studio), Aden learned to "glide" on a bike one day and then pedal without training wheels 3 days later, and we have Quarry Quest coming up this weekend. I'm sure there's more going on, but it is busy enough doing it...harder to post it online. But the kids really like looking at this site so it is worth it. Like a new kind of family photo album.

Kitty

Tracy just told me this story:

This morning Adalin asked if we could get a baby kitty. I told her that Daddy doesn't like cats and is allergic to them. Addie replied, "Can we get one when Daddy dies?"

Oh, boy. More posts later. Hopefully not so grim.
