new car

love it.  smooth ride (especially compared to the Jeep) I seriously feel like I am so spoiled and driving a luxury vehicle.  love/hate the power doors. love when my hands are full, hate when kids open/close excessively, and when my 2nd child throws a tantrum when I push the button to close it instead of using the handle, or visa versa.  Thinking of naming it "Mica"  because the color is Pre-Dawn Mica Gray, but we just call it Van.

BIG NEWS

On Tuesday, April 2 2013 The Boy reached a huge milestone, one that is essential to happiness in this life.  He rode his bike without training wheels!  What's even cooler is that he just took off, barely even wobbled.  We attribute this to the new "balance bikes", ours is called a Stryder (The Other One is seen "riding" it in the vid), it has no pedals which forces them to work on balance.  We are converted!  It was awesome to see him just go, like he'd been doing it for months!

In other news, Spring has sprung!  

 The Boy took this pic.

 Spring flowers!

 The prettiest thing in our yard, the new Forsythia Bush!  I love it!

Lunch and bubbles outside.

I did it, I finally did it.  

It has been a week and I am still trying to get used to it. 

 He looks like a completely different boy! 

 I miss his long hair, but I guess it was time.
