709 McConnell Lane

This is a picture of our old house at Whiteman. Our old neighbor took it and sent it to us. I was not expecting to see this when I opened the file. It brought immediate tears to my eyes. This is my home that is being demolished! We made some really great memories in that home. We had 5 Christmas' in that house. We brought each one of our babies home from the hospital in that house. It was our first house together. It may not be the prettiest, but we loved it. We will miss it, but realize we have to make every place we are our "new" home.

No Training Wheels!

This year we didn't really do much for St. Patty's Day. I did make sure all my kids and myself were wearing green, but that was about it. Some big things did happen on that day though. My little Lauren learned to ride her bike with no training wheels. She has been riding her bike with her other friends that no longer need training wheels. She just came to me and asked me to take them off. I was surprised! My neighbor and I helped her for about 15 minutes and off she went! She was more than ready. Now, only days later she is doing tricks and turns like she's been doing it for years! She scares me, but eventually she will fall and learn to be more careful. I hate watching my kids learn things that hard way. Im still so proud of my baby girl! Go Lauren!
