Picture Day

Today is awesome. The kids and I got out for a bike ride. Don't worry the car tail lights are just reflecting light as Phil takes a picture. Since Nate is 12 in 7th grade, he has been riding his bike to school. Rebekah has been wanting to ride her bike. Ben made sure that we all got up early enough. Ben got a haircut, so it isn't in his eyes for pictures. Beka wanted to be fancy. I got my bike at a yard sale on Saturday. Sunday I was able to get out on a long ride. We were able to see the sunrise at 7:30 as we rode to school. It was beautiful. Poor Rebekah really had to peddle so hard. Look at the difference in size of our tires. Ben and I have to hang back to prevent rolling her over. Next I'm looking for a baby seat or cart to pull them in behind the bike. Abi stayed home with Phil to make this excursion possible. Nate is doing much better with the braces. We still have a month before they will be tightened. He's going away to a youth retreat this weekend. Ben and Beka will go to a Creation Evidence Museum & Dinosaur World. Abi will be with us for Take it to the Streets Burleson, an evangelism event. This week I started a fitness program of weight lifting and last night I did Pilates. Watch out, next I'll start running. Phil is playing raquetball this morning. We get to meet Baby Haley for lunch. Ben and Christine Haley served as missionaries in Ecuador with us.
