Bikes

We have enjoyed an awesome 4 day weekend with Daddy. The bikes the trio received for their birthday are a HUGE hit...with K & R, at least. These pictures were taken as we practiced at 8am in the driveway. Sorry neighbors! We had held them off as long as we could. :-)P, the scientist, is far more interested in experimenting with the bicycle pump. "My bike is getting bigger like Daddy's." He and R also worked together to make "wind in da twees."

Meanwhile, K is a wild woman on her bike. She hops on without any help and just goes like the wind. She has already had a few good crashes. We are having to really work on using the brakes and not running people and animals down. (Sounds like the way her Mommy drives!)She is a sight to behold, with a grin that covers her entire face as she shouts, "Look Out! Here comes ME!"

R is the ever-cautious child. He told Daddy to slow down because, "you go too fast and get lost and we won't have a Daddy anymore!" With a little coaching from Dad, he is slowly getting more comfortable and starting to get the hang of things.

I love this age!!!

Jennifer,
Thinking of Parker getting the hang of riding is actually very scarey. He will be wide open, probably worse than Kate. RyGuy will however continue to be very cautious. Glad you had a great 4 days.
Love,
Mom

Maybe Kate can come over and teach my 7 year old to ride. Talk about your cautious bike rider.

Sooo cute. Our oldest is like Ryguy, very very cautious and 2nd is like Kate, ready to take on the world with no fear. Isn't it fun to see how the Lord makes each of them sooo very different. This is my favorite part of having several children.

Boy, I love your design. Susie is amazing. She got this one just right but she always does of course.

You know, I hadn't thought of it but I imagine birthdays around your house are a riot. Three new bikes. How fun! Your photos are so sweet. They're getting so big!

So precious! I love how each of their personalities come through! The fact that my gang are all different sooooo helps me appreciate their uniqueness. It seems the same with y'all, too.
Glad the party was fun! At Elizabeth's farm b'day last year, one of the goats went into our kitchen just as the 3 day old foal was running through our prim and proper neighbor's yard. Oh well! Great memories!

Hi! I'm Nancy. A friend of mine found your blog (through Bluebird designs) and told me about it. It's such a blessing to have found you! It looks like you have a wonderful family...your triplets are just beyond cute! My youngest turned 1 in April. When he was five months old, I was diagnosed with Postpartum cardiomyopathy. I can really identify with your story. I'm so glad you've recovered so well. That's my hope and prayer! At diagnosis, my EF was 15%. Six months later, it was still the same. However, I have a Cardiologist who doesn't go by numbers, but rather, how I feel. Most days I feel ok. I have occasional bad days, and periods of time. However, I CAN keep up with three children and just feel blessed beyond measure that God has allowed me to stick around and watch them grow! Hopefully, with time, my EF will improve as well. Come check out my blog anytime. (just click on my name)I'll be checking yours again....your triplets sound SO fun!!!
