A moment to remember

Tonight, when we were waiting for Mark to get home so we could go ride bikes in the neighborhood church parking lot (did we mention that Avery is riding without training wheels now?! So awesome! I'll have to recount that story below), the wind started blowing hard and the gorgeous pink flowers that covered our neighbor's tree were all coming down like pink rain. Well, Josiah thought they were amazing and asked permission to go under the tree. He was too, too adorable as he ran through the "rain" laughing because the petals were hitting him in the nose. What a sweet moment.

About riding bikes: so Avery started riding without his training wheels a few weeks ago. I wish we had a digital video tape so we could post it. I am SO glad we did video tape it regularly, though, because it was totally great. All alone, in this HUGE parking lot, and where does he ride straight to? One of just two light poles. "Donk!" - front wheel bonks the base and then he tipped over. He was totally fine, thankfully. We thought it was completely a riot and he laughed, too. What a great memory!
