The new bike in action

Emily got a new bike for her birthday. She has been trying to learn to pedal it and is getting there slowly. This weekend we went away with our church for a great time of fun together. (T.V. time with her friends from church)

It was also a cool place to learn to ride a bike as the huge sports halls provided opportunities for her to fall over, pedal, learn to brake and just have fun.

On the Joel front we have some ups and downs. He stopped growing in every way for about 6 weeks but now he seems to be moving again. We saw his Dr last week and overall she is pleased with him. We are being referred to speech and language to check that all is well after the tube being there for such a long time and he is now on chocolate flavoured milk; - do you know any 10 month olds who get chocolate milk? Emily is jealous that she can't have it! Developmentally his gross motor skills are not too good but his fine skills are ok. He still has one tooth and is up on his knees a little bit more but no signs of crawling.

Jamie has 4 days left at school and finishes on Friday for 7 weeks. I have 5 days left and finish a week on Wednesday. We are well, just on the count down for some down time.
