In Full Swing and Striving for Balance!

The boys returned to school on August 25th.  Things are in full swing as my 1st and 3rd Grader depart in the a.m. and are all smiles at pick up.  Both boys seem very pleased with their teachers and are having a great year thus far.

When September comes each year it is a time to get more organized and plan for the coming months of cooler weather, changing colors to feast the eyes upon and more bike rides.  My hubby got me a bike for my birthday on August 30th.  I have yet to master the art of balance..balance of time well spent and also balance on a bike.   I explained to my hubby that I hadn't written a bike in many moons, but wanted a bike to have family bike rides.

I am sure I haven been quite the free entertainment for our neighbors as they witness a lady in her 40's swirving all over on a bike!

Me:  Boys, am I staying balanced or a bit wobbly?
Liam:  Oh Mom, a bit wobbly.
Aaron:  Don't worry, Mom.  You can watch me ride and I will teach you.  If you fall, I will get you a bandaid like we would give a baby.

So, wish me well as I attempt to master my steal of a deal bike beauty!
