Another milestone as our little man grows up before our very eyes. He has been talking about this event for a very long time and we finally did it! Daddy got out the tools and with a watchful eye from Jack, removed the sacred training wheels. We took off across the street to the expansive green lawn at 1st Pres thinking that the soft grass would make for friendly crash terrain, but he did so good, I think he could have taken off down the street! Daddy gave him a good push and off he went. He was so proud of himself and the very next day, we did take off down the street and rode all the way to Nan and Gran Dan’s house!

If this isn't loving life...

I don’t know what is!!! Are they having a ball or what? Jack’s riding the tube with his buddies Anna Parks and Eli. We got Anna Parks out on the skis and she did great!

Hi Everyone! Just got back from a WONDERFUL week in Gulf Shores! The weather was great, the kids were super, and the food was awesome! For those of you who know all about my picky eating past, it should go down for the record that I ate CRAB LEGS three times!!! Oh, they are delicious, i've been missing out! Here are just a few pics, although I might run across more later!

This is Jack with his cousins, Elizabeth and Anneliese.
Oh, that was a big one....
but it wasn't over yet, man the current is strong!
It's all good though, I made it!

Obviously, Jack loves the ocean!
Kate got pretty comfortable in the sand this week as well!
