Anniversary & Accomplishment

Matthew has been avoiding the idea of taking his training wheels off. Seems like most of his neighbors are riding with two wheels, but he would reply that he would “ride with training wheels until he’s seven.” Where did he get that idea??? I pulled out his old starter bike and made that a two-wheeler. It sits lower and probably less scary for him. It sat in the garage for weeks..........

Yesterday Matt brought the bike out and decided to go for it. We were more than willing to go with the flow. Steve stood behind him and ***VUELA*** he mastered it right away and took off! We were so proud. He finally did it! HURRAY!!!!

Another milestone. Another accomplishment. Another reason for me to sit back and cherish every moment. Life really is a blink!

On that subject, Steve and I will be celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary Saturday, August 5th. We are celebrating our day meeting Steve’s family at Indiana Beach and spending the day as a family. I wouldn’t want it any other way!

***WOW*** Eleven years!! Seems like yesterday we were planning our wedding day. Seems like yesterday we moved into our first home. Seems like yesterday we welcomed Matthew into the world and then Mark. We have experienced low moments as well as exciting times of pure joy. It has been a wonderful journey and I anticipate what God has in store for our family.


Have a wonderful weekend!!!!!
