New Bike-a-sickle.

Too bad Isaac's birthday isn't in the summer.  We'd have a good reason to get him a bike.   

Turns out bikes aren't much fun in the winter, when his birthday comes around.

So we got him a bike anyway.  

Because it was on sale.  

And it was Father's Day.  

Because, you know, he has a father.  And sometimes, that's worth celebrating.

So here we are testing out the new "bike-a-sickle."

Getting a few pointers.

 

"I'm doing it!"

(He wasn't actually moving.)

Here we go again!

... Maybe.

As long as it's downhill or someone's giving him a little boost.

He keeps trying to pedal backwards.  

Which is, of course, the brakes.

We'll keep practicing.

Happy Birthday Mother's Day!

Isaac made Ababa a card this morning while Ababa slept in a bit.  

It had a picture of our family on it.

He signed it himself. 

(I love how he ran out of room so the C is teensy.)

I told him to bring Ababa the card and tell him Happy Father's Day!

The card was delivered...

With the message "Happy Birthday Mother's Day!"

I guess he liked the card anyway.  :)

Happy Family

I can't believe I have hitherto forgotten to post these!  

When we were in Paradise, my SIL took some awesome pics for us!  :)  

Thanks Emily!

Wet's Go, Wittoe Doggie!

(Apparently he doesn't remember Stanley, 

who we gave to my aunt several months ago 

due to his propensity for eating children's toys and our inability to be home enough)

 

Smell the "Opiates." 

Amber likes to teach him about alternative plant uses, apparently.
