Weekend tidbits



Hello, all.

I thought I'd post some phone pictures from this weekend. First up, Lily at Krogers, Raymond and Maria in the background. Nothing special here on this Saturday.



After an allergy pill-induced nap, I pulled out my bike from storage, having never ridden it since moving to Silverwood Farms. I was inspired by Raymond's new cycling prowess Lily's new training wheeled bike and especially Maria's purchase of a new bike for herself.I inflated the tires and oiled the chain and went outside with Lily and rode circles around her while she did her typical 2 laps around the cul-de-sac and was done. Unsatisfied, I told Raymond how much I had been looking forward to his learning to ride a bike so we could go off on some father-son adventures. He was really excited. We rode down to a nearby creek I had always wanted to explore. While I have no pictures of the riding part, this is a picture of Raymond by the creek. I look forward to more of these. I look forward to cycling with Maria, too. Maybe next year, Lily will be ready for the bike path, too.

Finally, here is a shot of our leaving Steak'n'Shake. Sunday was an errand day. New uniforms for Raymond. A bike helmet and kick-stand for me. Hope everyone has a good week.

Hey Chaz and fam... love the weekend recap. It must have been a cooler weekend to get outside for the biking. How far is the creek from your house, where you did the exploring with Raymond? Lily for sure needs handle bar streamers for her bike, if she doesn't already. You will have to teach Raymond how to put a playing card in the back tire spokes for the sounds effects! What sport is the new uniform for? No Steak and Shake hat for Maria? :) (sorry I missed you on IM this weekend)

Charlie - please bring pictures to the wedding. Love the weekend in review. Life gets easier and so fun as the kids can join us on our adventures! See you soon.

No sports, CC, your siblings all had to endure "uniforms" I.E. uniform dress code. Indeed Lily has streamers. I'll try to get a family picture of everyone on their bikes. The creek in question is maybe a mile and a quarter, mostly downhill. MUCH cooler this weekend. mid-eighties, low humidity. Brigid, bringing pictures on the computer makes the most sense, space-wise.
