friends over for Zeke's birthday

Madeline's birthday party

MNO at Carolina Ale House

YMCA playdate meetup

Zeke's getting firewood so Mommy can start a fire to last all day

such a helpful boy!

Zeke is learning to ride bike without training wheels!

Joel took the pedals off Zeke's bike and he was to try to move forward as fast as he could, so he would get used to balancing and what that felt like.

after he got the hang of that, Joel put the pedals back on so Zeke could start trying to pedal.

this is the length we were trying to get him to pedal without putting down a foot.
