Stefan surprised us by taking yesterday off from work, after being in Florida for five days. We had a fun and relaxing day, and in the afternoon, we got Ava her very first bike. We live in a cul de sac, and every afternoon, our neighbors' kids all get together and ride bikes, scooters and motorized cars in the nearly vacant cul de sac. Some of the younger ones just toddle around with toys, etc. All of the kids are within a couple of years of each other in age, so everyone gets along great and has a lot of fun together. Ava has been pushing her doll in her stroller while the older kids ride around, but yesterday, she got her first bike. Stefan put it together as quickly as he could because Ava was so excited to try it out. We took her outside during Ian's evening nap, and Stefan taught her how to ride it. We quickly learned that Ava's legs are just a hair too short to push the pedals the whole way around, but this summer, she'll be able to reach them just fine and will no doubt be zooming around our cul de sac with finesse. In the meantime, we'll keep trying until she gets it. We really don't mind pushing her - it's fun to see her face light up, not to mention great exercise!

I want hot pink wheels on my RAV4! Too cute - and she is soooo excited!
I sang "Mighty to Save" on stage last December with the "Chick Worship" team, which was fun and only slightly scary - 3 services: around 1,200 faces STARING. RIGHT. AT. YOU. :) Love that song!
