Going, Going, Gone.....

Yesterday afternoon's trip to Cathy and Cliff's started with a lovely surprise, all 8 of them were walking home. I whipped out the camera and actually got a half decent shot off. What do you think? Looking pretty wonderful for a couple about to celebrate their 10th Anniversary tomorrow!


While the majority of the family left to go to see the doctor, Cameron, Carly and Catie stayed home with Pappa and I.

While Cameron investigated Club Penguin,

and Catie completed a puzzle we brought from our house,

Pappa took Carly outside to help her learn to ride her bike without her training wheels. She balanced, he held her up. She peddalled for all her life while Pappa held his hand on her back, running, veering left, veering right. It worked! She rode that bike-look Pappa, no hands! The sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon. Unfortuantely for Carly, it was too bright out for Nanny and her display on her camera. I couldn't see a thing through it! You'll have to fill in the rest of the pictures with your imagination! But her smiling face says it all!

Then when Claire came home from the doctor (so glad your ear is all better Claire), she too wanted to learn without her training wheels. Again, fill in the blanks. Seriously. That's Claire about to whip by. She was scooting about in a flash, she was so ready. And of course very proud of her newfound skills.

Then Cameron got his bike out and they were all riding! Where is your helmut Cameron???

Then Caroline got out the soccer ball and played with Pappa and later on Grandpa. Look at her!

And then Nona and Grandpa came out to cheer everyone on! Which was awesome because we were all there to share this momentous milestone in a child's life.

And all the while, little Coco slept soundly in the van after her needles at the Doctor. Look at our little sleepyhead.

What a great afternoon!
