Schwinn

It has been a long, cold winter and I think that we have all put on a few pounds sitting on our behinds, trying to keep warm in the house. But Spring is finally here and we are excited to get out and play. The boys love to go for bike rides with Vince, but the girls and I have been left-out because my $5 thrift-store bike wasn't the deal that I thought it was and doesn't work. So, I just ordered new bikes for Vince and me and a trailer for the girls to ride behind. These are comfort bikes with memory foam in the seats, made for a nice leisurely ride. Sweet.

My bike

Vince's bike with the trailer

Our long driveway- perfect for the kids to ride their bikes and scooters.

And behind Vince, our "Big Ash Tree". It took a beating during the ice-storm that hit here in December and left us without power for a week. But it is still beautiful.

OK so apparently you found me before I found you. I got confused when Nina said she seen me on your blog and I didn't know that you even had one.
I love the new bikes! I really want a bike trailor, someday maybe.
Sorry your having such a hard time with the babe. Brylee is a stinker during the day too, she's not a good napper yet and just takes small cat naps during the day. She does great at night though, so I guess I would rather have her sleep at night then more during the day.
Take care. I guess I will be popping in on you more now that I know you have a blog. The rest of the fmaily needs one too. I feel so out of the loop about things going on with everyone. Who knows when we will all see each other next.

Good for you guys! The scenery is so beautiful out there. Must be nice not to have to use sprinklers. I can't believe how long your drive way is....my kids would love that. Right now they are tied down to only circles with their bikes. I love your new bike, ,looks comfy with that memory foam. I need to get one like that.
