No more training wheels...

Poor Austin was such a "by trial and error" first born and trying to get the training wheels off too soon - for him - was one of our mistakes. We coaxed, bribed, encouraged, nagged, etc. Well.....come Reece and Lindsey life gets SO busy that Lindsey has actually asked for quite a while to take off her training wheels and we just never got around to doing that. Well....tonight after a family bike ride, Brian took them off and she absolutely just took off. That was SO nice!! She told me later that she KNEW she could do it because the Lord was with her. Such a girl of pure faith.

Well...the night wasn't over yet. Reece announced that he wanted to do it. So...Brian took his training wheels off too. I was talking with a neighbor and turned as Brian was running and saying "Not so fast Reece!" I guess Reece was more than ready, too.

I'm proud of you Lindsey and Reece!
