Bikes and babies

Today was my first bike ride since Addie arrived. It was marvelous, and it didn't even hurt!!! Except for the kind of hurt that comes from not riding your bike in a few months. It made me remember a few things.

1. How much I hate skateboarders that go down the hill on their stomachs. I almost squished a few. It makes me want to say to them, "See you in the ER buddy. They won't even have to X-ray you to know that you left part of your face on the road."
2. You get little bugs in your eyelid creases. And sometimes up your nose. It's gross, but worth it.
3. It takes a long time to like climbing hills. It hurts at first, but if you stay at it, the pain doesn't necessarily go away it just starts to feel kind of good. I mean it. I'm not just saying that because I am sleep deprived.
4. I have a great husband. Not that I forgot that, but he was so nice to hang out at the park with Addie while I got a good ride in on the river trail. I know he would have enjoyed being on his bike too, but Addison is still too small for the bike trailer, so for now we'll just have to take turns.

We didn't have our camera with us, but here's a picture of my bike.


Isn't it pretty? See the sparkles? Here's a picture of Addison chillin' in the Boppy from earlier today.

And this is the hard part of her day. The rest of the time, she's sleeping. She's getting to be a lot more fun, because she stays awake for a little longer now. She's getting big too.
