Riding A Bike

It has been SO hot here.  We don't want to go outside. The kids BEG to go outside though.  So Bill caved and took them in the front yard.  Thankfully it was "cool" out (clouds were around to help cool us off).  Jadyn can ride a bike without training wheels. We have 2 other bikes with training wheels.  We have Abby's bike without training wheels and the girls old smaller bikes with training wheels.  Bill put training wheels on Abby's because it's a bigger bike.  Well, they did not work too well.  But it did help Maggie for a little while.

The girls faces were priceless.  Every time I think that we've lost so many years with the girls, so many of their first....well then I see that they have NEVER ridden on a bike so we have witnessed another first for them.  So thankful for the firsts we are able to witness.  Their smiles and laugh was precious.  They had so much fun.  And Abby & Jadyn were the "big sisters" by helping and encouraging them.  Another precious moment to be a part of. OH, and Abby decided tonight she would like to try to ride without training wheels.  She did great!

Here are photos from tonight.  I'm so amazed at how much the girls have changed in 5 short weeks.  They are SO happy.  Their smiles are genuine.  I have watched other older children come home with their families and have witnessed the miracle of them adjusting to their new lives.....But actually being apart of it, and seeing it daily, and receiving the love & hugs is just amazing!  God is So Good!!!!

The smile says it all
