Zale Can Ride a Bike!

Check this out... it is the cutest thing ever!



Our friends, the Hondas, brought over a bike for Sarelle that their son had grown out of... which she is now riding with skill and ease. It was fun to see her so proud and just zooming all over. So then Zale says, "I wanna ride this one" ... pointing to Sarelle's old 12" one. After much pursuading, I agreed to run behind him, not looking forward to the aching back and being out of breath. He can be SO persistant.



As I began running behind him two or three steps, Zale says, "I do it myself." He continued for the next couple of steps to INSIST. Being the mother of the year candidate, I thought, "Fine, do it yourself!" (Thinking he would fall over and I would try to catch him.) Nope. Off goes little Zale, riding on his own. Turning and balancing as if he had been riding for weeks. That was THE easiest training I have ever assisted in. WOW! That boy has some serious boy genes... and some major balancing skills. It is the cutest thing ever.

One way around the Christmas Budget...

Merry Christmas!! With our fine Christmas budget, we decided we just couldn't put out the extra $50 to send Cards this year. So tacky as it may be.... we were able to send our Christmas card to everyone on our email list. Unfortunately we don't have everyone's email, but.... "It's all good" (our phrase for the year)

Loves to all!

Yep... big loser...lost my username or something... I couldn't remember how to get onto my own blog. So the new name could be... If I could remember I had a blog. Ha HA!

I really want to write about a few things... but not tonight. I am going to bed. But just remind me....thanksgiving (ya gotta love being a mom of kindergarteners... I got to be the pilgram ...looking ever so smashing in my bonnet.

Then there are the flamingos, and an all day "freezing" 50 degree lacrosse tournament 11 hours! and oh yes, from last October... the jungle YW activity.

Oh and here is my substitute teaching card that I made to hand to my favorite teachers. (I really don't want to sub for just anyone) I love Zale's little marching feet and how the girls are laughing!)

But someday I will write all of my great stuff...

So for tonight, just want to say I love Christmas! It has snuck up on me, but nonetheless... happiness abounds.
