Can't stop. Won't stop.

Summer is winding down but that's not stopping this bunch. We took advantage of the low humidity low 80s weather the other day and hit up Heritage Park. The kids ride bikes and I ran behind them. Well, ran behind Ben - Em took off way ahead and lapped us numerous times. Ben did GREAT, he is starting on his own, mostly safely stopping on his own and is going long distances without stopping. We are very proud of both kiddos and are confident Ben is ready for a bigger bike for next Summer. He was so determined to complete an entire lap without stopping that we did three laps of the park (we usually do one because he gets "tired") for a total of three miles. Good run for me, too!! 

Em and I enjoyed the second to last live music night at the brewery last night complete w ice cream and friend fun. Actually, we didn't see any of our good friends until we were ready to leave so Em hung out w a young girl from her karate class blowing bubbles and making chalk art. You could tell the girl was thrilled to be playing w a big girl - it was too sweet and I was proud of her for stepping up as a role model. Way to go, Emsadoodle! 

We came home with ice cream for the boys and watched the last part of the movie Daddy & Ben were watching before heading to bed. Ben was sugared up and couldn't fall asleep so I received this note at about 10pm! 😜😂😍
