Growing up

I can't believe that is my oldest boy mowing my lawn.  When did he grow old enough to do that?  I don't know why that is a milestone to me, but it is.  The other day he came to us all excited to learn to mow, and actually did a great job for his first time.  He loved it, but I don't know how much he will still love it when it becomes his new chore.

Learning how to ride a bike, another big milestone.  We just taught our last child  to ride a bike.  She was bound and determined to ride just as good as her brother and sister.  It took her two days.  I went outside today and she had her bike and was riding it all over the driveway.  I am glad she caught on so fast, but I was hoping to drag it out...keep her young for just a little longer. She loves riding her bike everywhere now.  She rides it fast and with a purpose.  I always make sure she has a helmet on her head.  Great job Amity!
