It's official! Alaina is now on wheels!

Thanks to her super awesome Uncle Ben, and her loving grandparents, Alaina has a new bike! Ben found a super steal of a deal on a kids bike just the right size for Alaina, on Craigslist. And her cool grandparents footed the bill.

Alaina has been itching to learn how to ride her bike, but her bike was getting too small for her, and her confidence level was not that high. With a little encouraging and the excitement of getting a new bike, oh and finally a place that we feel is suitable for practicing, she is finally riding her bike on her own!

I got a text from Beth while at work with the shocking news that she finally mastered balancing the bike and pedalling at the same time. I was anxious to get home from work, and she was anxious to share her achievement with me.

When I got home she was so excited, that she mentioned to me that she cannot wait for "Take your daughter to work" day so that she can ride her bike to work with me. Very sweet! I bike to work and back, but who knows where I will be next April but Im happy she'll be riding with me on other adventures, most likely shorter ones!

Here is a video too of her riding the bike in our driveway!

Should I keep our blog updated or not?

Wow! It's been a year since an official blog! Facebook took over in my updates there, but many don't have Facebook still, so should I still update this blog? Let me know!
