Blue Sky!

On the way to church on Sunday morning, Jaron looked up and said, "Look, Mommy! The sky is out!" It took me a second to realize that he meant the blue sky! It has been grey, foggy and a bit dreary around here for weeks. I guess that explains his surprise. We decided to take full advantage of our sunny day. After church, while Jaron napped, Faith took her first real big girl bike ride around the neighborhood. She learned to ride her bike without training wheels several weeks ago (in the garage) and has been itching for a nice day to ride somewhere other than our driveway. She loved every minute of our ride together: learning to ride on one side of the street, using her breaks down the hills, standing up to pedal really hard to get up the hills, and even pulling over to stop while cars passed.

When Jaron woke up, we gathered some old bread I'd been saving in the freezer and headed to the fishing pond to feed the ducks. Both kids thought it was a treat when daddy decided he would pull them there in the wagon that Nanny & Papa gave Jaron for Christmas.

It was nearly dark when we got back home and every one's fingers were cold!



Jaron decided that old, stale bread doesn't taste that great.

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
