Today Violet got a big girl bike, so tonight after dinner her and Jacob had a race. Well Violet can’t quite ride her new bike yet, so it wasn’t much of a race. She tried hard to get it to go, but couldn’t quite get it.

Last week I showed a picture of a couple of trees stumps in front of our place. I was surprised by how tall the stumps were. I’m happy to report that they cut down the stumps, but beyond that, they’ve removed one completely and are clearly working on the other one.

Tonight we have a picture of Melissa as she sets out on her third run this month.  She’s giving the running thing a try and I want to do everything I can to support her.  It’s exciting that sometime in the future we could be lining up at the start of a race together.

I took today’s picture as we were walking home from Jacob’s school. It amused me that the kids were dressed so much alike, so I tried to capture the moment. The kids weren’t really interested in daddy taking more pictures, but I think I got a good shot.

Today we have a picture of Melissa, sporting her one of a kind macaroni necklace and pin that Jacob gave to her. Of course you can’t miss the flowers that Jacob and Violet picked out for her. Even with Melissa working this afternoon we managed to have a great morning as a family.

On Tuesday I had a picture of Jacob posing with the bat in hand. Today I have a picture of my little guy hitting the ball. I’m really enjoying these saturday morning games, just have to remember to bring a chair next week.

Today while walking to a special lunch for Jacob, he asked for sushi. We saw some people from the city testing the local splash pad. It’s nice to see them getting it ready for summer, I know our little family will be spending many afternoons enjoying it.

Today Violet had an adventure with Nana and Mommy. The three of them headed off to square one where Violet finally got her hair cut. I took this when The family met up with me near my work, trying to capture the hair cut for today’s picture of the day.

It seems our trees have been cut down, well mostly. Looking at the picture of took of their stumps I can’t help but think I should get into their and clean out the weeds.
