Today was Declan’s lucky day – his mama scored a sweet little bike for him for $5, complete with training wheels, at a yard sale on our way home from church. Too cute, seeing the little guy riding on a bicycle. He loves it and he’s doing a great job on it so far. We’ll still be using our tricycle for hikes and such, but we’ll try to fit in lots of bicycle time before the snow flies, too.
Quinn’s increasingly effective pincer grasp is directly helping to keep my floors cleaned and vacuumed on a regular basis, since she crawls across the room for the tiniest little whatever that she sees on the floor, then tries to put it in her mouth.
After around a two-week break due to schedule changes, I finally resumed my Pilates class and outdoor walks this week – funny how much my mood improved after that……duh. It’s been great having friends remind me to do this when I’d forgotten.
Last Sunday, Mike and I hosted a Fall Fest 2006 event for our website, hudsonvalleyparents.com as well as open to the public, and we raised $600 for a local charity called Family. We’re hoping to make this an annual event, getting people together “off-line” to have fun with their families for an afternoon, while helping to support a good cause. Despite the grim weather reports and the torrential rains that morning, the event was well-attended, and there wasn’t a drop of rain throughout the entire afternoon. The children’s band, our friends Dog On Fleas even played outside! Here’s a picture below of Declan enjoying the hayride Daddy did.
First bike ride!
