my natural.

sometimes it kills me how fast these {almost} five years has gone by with her.

we stayed local over the holiday weekend - no major plans. a neighbor gave us her daughter's princess bike - she had grown out of it. we lucked out and she happened to think of us before she junked it. {it's in gorgeous condition, too}. little girl was over the moon when our neighbor walked up the driveway with it a couple of weekends back. all we had to do was put the training wheels back on...

jim took her out on sunday for a little test run. apparently, she had been making mental notes. he showed her once, ran down the instructions with her {we're still going over the safety rules verbatum}, and - well - that's all there was too it. like she had been riding a bike for eons...









and, boy, was she sure proud of her accomplishment.



now she's into negotiating how many times we're going to go around the block so she can practice. i'm trying to scale it down a little on the hotter days we're experiencing right now.

hopefully be back soon with barefoot in the kitchen updates and some layouts. the wacky weather has me dodging clouds today - not the best for photographing them a la natural light.

How cute! Your pictures are, as always, fantastic. Bet those training wheels won't be on for long!
