Life Lately

No Training Wheels
Today, Drew felt brave enough to ride his bike without his training wheels - and did wonderfully! He now wants to ride down the big hills and go very fast and give his mother a heart attack. Each day the kids seem to get bigger and older and as I've said before, leave behind the little babies they once were. Bittersweet.

As we were getting ready to go outside to ride once more, and had asked the kids to get their socks and shoes back on, Belle--who had just finished watching "Paw Patrol"--said "I'm fired up!" It was pretty cute.


Spring Break
This year we went down to Grand Rapids for spring break. It was nice to get outta town and see (a little) less snow. The weather cooperated mostly and we got to see some cool stuff. We spent one day at Meijer Garden, one morning at the Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit at the Public Museum the on to yummy food and beer at Founders (kids didn't drink), and the kids ate at their first Hibachi place. Of course, we spent lots of time at the hotel pool, too. Neighbors actually came down too, so we met up with them for dinner one night. It was a pleasant trip, making me aware of the fact that traveling with kids has certainly gotten easier, and more interesting over the past year or so.
