A Little Golf and Cycling on a Sunday

What a lucky little boy Nicolas is this Sunday! His interests and growth... not to mention a December birthday which leaves 12 months between celebrations for big purchases It has let Mommy and Daddy to look for any small "excuse" to buy those special treats. But we were paid back with smiles and joy. What else would you need then that?


Nicolas' interest in sports seems to go with the season. And now it is baseball and golf in strong swing. Golf was being satisfied with his little plastic clubs... but that was starting to leave much to be desired. Not exactly the clubs he needs to bring to the driving range with Daddy which is something he really wants to do. So we picked him up a set today after a Target trip after church. Lexi was happy too. Now she can use the plastic set without having to share herself. Boy our front yard gets used for a lot of sports. You would think they would be in the back but they go to that slanted front!

After golf came the new bike. Yep, a new bike for big brother. We took a trip to Sports Authority after naps to look at a new bike. Our rapidly growing tike was rapidly outgrowing his 12" bike. It was kind of sad and yet humorous to watch his little legs peddle so fast as he tried to move a long distance on the diameter of those tiny wheels. Now he is comfortable with his new helmet (you should have seen the old one sitting on top of his head as he had outgrown it) and new bike. Doesn't he look proud! And doesn't Lexi!

Get the tools out! With a little help from little hands, Daddy fixed the training wheels. Nicolas wants to try and ride with them all the way up so maybe they can come off soon. Doesn't have the hang of it yet but he is working on it and bound to succeed.

Look out world (and anyone else on the sidewalk), here comes Nicolas!
