No more Training Wheels!

We went for a family bike ride the other night for FHE and we were watching Shane with his bike and he really wasn't using his training wheels. John raised them once and then he decided to take them all the way up and see if he could do it without. I was a little hesitant but John assured me he could always put them back on. So John held the bike while Shane got on he held the back for about two seconds and he was off like a shot. None of this holding on the back all the way down the street reassuring them you won't let go, he just did it! You should have seen him up and down curbs and turning corners like it was no big deal! I couldn't believe it! You could see it was definitely a big deal for John. He was proud as a peacock! I love to see John get excited about things especially when it comes to his kids! John and I weren't the only ones that were proud of Shane. Connor kept saying, "Shane you so smart!" I guess for lack of a better word. It is always fun to hear what comes out of his mouth because you never know....

Shane- I didn't know you could do that! You didn't show Uncle Jeff and I that while we were there this week. We will have to see you ride whenever we are back in town. Good Job kid!!!!

hey GIna,
I don't know how often you check this, but on sunday I think Conner put one of my old chapsticks in his pants pocket. I would hate for it to get put through the washer and dryer...so I hope you get this message. It was great as always to see you guys last sunday!! I hope you're getting more sleep!
