So, last weekend was warm enough to spend time out doors - which is always a welcome treat in the winter. We took full advantage of the spring-like days - going on hikes, running around, and going to the park to ride bikes and skateboards.
Noah is liking this bike riding thing more and more, and he is getting the hang of it. Our neighborhood is pretty steep, so he does not have the most ideal area in which to learn. But we have been able to work in enough visits to the park, that he seems to grasp the concept of bicycling. As you can see in this pic, he was enjoying himself on thsi particular day, as I chased him on the longboard - fun for both of us. We hope to get him on his bike (aka the Road Warrior) even more this Spring and summer, in prep for Hilton head - which is bicycle paradise.

Noah had tubes as well, and the results were nothing short of magical, as far as how much better he seemed to feel. So, we are certainly hoping that Avery is going to feel like a million bucks when this thing is through. Neither Jessica nor I am looking forward to the doctor taking him away from us though, even if it is only for 15 minutes . In related news, Avery has started to pull up and is crawling around now. His crawl is pretty hilarious, as he generally uses his hands and one knee to propel his body forward. The thing is, he is really, really, really excited about his newfound ability to grab anything he desires. We were in no hurry to see him locomote, but to see him so happy is beautiful. These boys just make my life so much better than it has ever been. I was thinking recently how I know for a fact that these are the "glory years" of our parenthood, as it were. I can actually feel that each day, when all four of us are playing, singing, and hanging out together. And as always, I feel that gravitational pull to hang on to these moments as much as humanly possible. In order to reconcile these feelings, I think Jessica and I just try to document everything that is happening. We take a bunch of pictures, write this blog, pack away things of note. Either way, we are lucky bastards, for sure.
