A HUGE MILESTONE   took place in our family  last week ......... our middle child learned how to ride her bike without training wheels!:)  We were at a church bike ride night and she had the room and finally the confidence to take right off and zoom around!!:):):)  It was such a special moment to see lots of learning all of a sudden come together with a HUGE SUCCESS!!!!  It also took her a long time and her timetable to figure out the mechanics of pedaling!!!  So combine the pedaling with the balance and it was extra special!!:):):) 

Another exciting thing this week was that our son entered 9 items in a county 4-H Fair and did well earning 5 blue ribbons and 4 red ribbons and some premium(prize) money to boot.  Then he was in the talent show and tied for 1st place.:)  He was competing against a friend of his and he said that tieing with her was WAY BETTER than beating her!:)  I really appreciated his heart in those words!:)

Now, what do I hear????????  It is the sweet sound of my washing machine cycling all of the way through without me having to go and fix the duct-tape!:)  Yep, my super-hero husband and son have fixed the machine.  Last weekend I found the part on the internet...ordered it.....it came today....and my precious husband and son got right to it and fixed it!!!:):)  I am THRILLED AND DELIGHTED!!   Uh...oh...now that means I actually HAVE to do the laundry!  No more excuses!  NO, just kidding, kind of!:)  God bless!!  I am off to do some laundry!:)
