Happy to have Todd's brother and family for a visit! Sorry Auntie Ruth that we didn't get you in the picture. Here's the crew going to look at the bees.
Elijah just got the best toy of his life from our state's Make A Wish program - a Duet bicycle! This was our maiden voyage. Elijah was not feeling good, so we didn't get many smiles for the camera, but even being sick we could tell he loved it!
Johanna and Elijah
We love his new bike, too! This past weekend we all went for a six-mile bike ride. Elijah smiled a lot, and we LOVED being able to do something fun and outdoorsy and "normal" together as a family!!! I told Todd that it was one of my best weekends EVER. Our child's limitations are our limitations as well, so having this bike gives us a fabulous way to have fun in an athletic way. I felt so free! My next challenge is to see if I can take all the boys alone on the bike (Luke pulled in a trailer and Zane in a backpack). If so, the town is ours!
A major feature of the Duet bike is that the wheelchair detaches from the back wheel, so that once you get to your destination you're not stuck. We can go anywhere now. Whoever thought of this idea is a genius!
Luke makes sure we laugh every day multiple times.
Oh so kissable! This baby is a little giggler, but it's so hard to capture on camera.
