Milestones

The first picture is not really a milestone as it is one of those things in life that never ends. Thankfully for me, my Mom is now living close by and is willing to make in house calls for haircuts. Last night all the kids got their hair cut but I forgot to take pictures of the others. Silas is not impressed with the whole process but since Grandma is doing it, and bribes him with a candy, he's a little more willing.



What a handsome boy!

Bethany has finally mastered riding a two wheeler. She started to get the hang of it already last Fall but the weather turned cold quickly so she never really had enough time to practice. Now, this Spring she has been practicing a lot but not without some pain. This is the first time one of our kids has had to learn on a gravel driveway and that makes it a little more difficult. Today we visited a friend in town and Bethany was able to practice on pavement. She is now able to confidently bike around our circular driveway. Well, most of the time...



This time around is much better!


And then there's Silas...he learned how to ride his trike; well sort of - again it's hard to bike on gravel :)
