Don't blink

People always say that kids grow up so fast.  I've heard people say, "Don't blink or you'll miss it."  There have been several times when I've thought that myself.  On Saturday, Tony's aunt and uncle had a BBQ at their house with all the aunts, uncles, and cousins.  The boys spent the night at Tony's dad's the night before, so we met them there.  After we said "hi" to everybody, we see Caleb with a huge grin on his face...riding up to us on a bike!  That might not seem like a big deal, but he didn't know how to ride a bike by himself the day before.  Caleb is a very cautious kid and was too nervous to ride a bike by himself when we've tried in the past.  His training wheels broke this past summer so we bought a balancing handle that the parent can walk behind the bike and hold for support.  Tony's been helping him bike around the driveway for a few weeks, but Caleb still liked having someone there in case he lost his balance.  So when we saw him ride up on his own at the BBQ, it was a big deal for us.  Plus, the grin on his face-you could tell he was proud-was priceless.

I'm an aunt!

My sister and her husband had their first baby this morning at 2am.  Her name is Karis Marie.  She has brown hair.  She weighed 7 lbs. 2 ozs. and was 18 ins. long.  She's so precious.

And they're off




I had a little more time to mentally/emotionally prepare for the boys' first bus ride this morning than I had for Joshua going to kindergarten (see previous post), so I did pretty good this morning.  Both of the boys have wanted to ride the bus, so they were very excited and climbed right in.   While the boys did run out of the door before they brushed their teeth, we were ready on time.
