Bikes and New Friends

This may not be a big deal to most of you, but to me it is absolutely wonderful! We came home from a shopping trip today, to be greeted at the car by four neighborhood girls--all ages 7-9. We've met some of them before, but have never spent a lot of time with them. Of course, Jenna has been asking about them for weeks, but they are in school and we rarely see them outside.

School's out, and they are playing outside. They invited Jenna to ride bikes with them, and she had a ball! We have never lived on a street where Jenna could ride her bike outside with nice little friends (except in Texas, but she was 6 months old then). It was so wonderful to watch her race on her little trike up and down the street with four other little girls who want to be a "mother" to her. Very cute.

She'll be even more excited when Santa brings her a big girl princess bike for Christmas!

We are so happy to live in a safe nieghborhood where Jenna can play and ride her bike outside:)

I wish that we l ived on the same street so that Shelby and Jenna could ride bikes together. Maybe with some encouragement from Jenna, Shelby would actually ride. She does not like to ride her Barbie trike that much. I think it is because our driveway is sloped and she goes down it too fast and has trouble coming back up. If we lived on the same street though, they could terrorize the neighborhood with their "bad-to-the-bone" racing.

Okay, sorry to focus on the not living near each other thing.
