From Winter to Spring... (1 of 3)

As winter turned slowly (really slowly) into spring, we made our way outside, even venturing out on snowy bike rides every once in awhile. Henry was determined to ride without training wheels. Living in the country makes this a bit tougher than it should be, as every time we need to practice we load the bikes up and drive to the park. But, the mission has been a success... we now have two boys on two bikes and only one set of training wheels, and we expect these to come off sooner rather than later. Otherwise... Henry's second half of kindergarten has been a success. His favorite part of his day: reading and writing. He loves to write stories... mostly about pirates. Sammy likes just about anything Henry likes. They play pirates and Titanic together, and Sammy pretends to read aloud as Henry does. Never before did I realize how much I would appreciate having two boys. They are perfect playmates, often playing for hours without needing much from us. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing.
