It's Finally Here

After years of searching for a new car Jon's new car arrived Monday. We traded the Probe in on a 2012 Ford Escape Hybrid.

Beautiful Bikealicous Day

I have had the urge to go for a bike ride for the past couple of weeks and this weekend was beautiful. Yesterday Jon pulled the girls in the trailer and I rode solo for a short ride to the park. It just wasn't enough to get it out of my system. So today I hooked the trailer up to my bike and went 7.6 miles with Maggie. She fell asleep on me so I brought her home and got Lucy. We went 6.8 mile. I still want more. We will have to go out again next weekend.

Lucy loves to pick Dandelions.

Maggie loves to help Daddy mow.

Outstanding Poster

I saw a version of this poster at our Park District builing today and thought it was AWESOME enough to come home and find it on the internet. Sometimes I need to remember nice words can get me more than always shouting, "NO!"

A Dancer's Mom

Maggie likes to play dress up after we tuck her in at night. You never know what she will be wearing in the morning. On this occasion it is two shirts. One on top and one on bottom. This morning it was a dress, two pairs of shorts and a pair of pants.

Maggie really wants to be a dancer too.

Lucy had her first recital last Sunday. The girls danced and were so great!!!
