Makin' me happy

Just a few good things about today.  
First, I'm in love with these flowers near our front porch.  They exploded over night and I think they're my new fave.


Second, Max took a long, sweaty, spring nap on the couch.  There's not much better than nap time!

And finally, my favorite thing about today...

Sam is one determined kid.  He's wanted those darn training wheels off for a while and he knew today was the perfect day to master his bike.  Eric was home, the sun was shining, Max was napping, and I had my camera handy.  Perfect.


He's got it down pat now after just a few pushes from Dad and a couple of falls.  I love his confidence and his fearless attitude when it comes to trying something new.  I wish I could be more like him. 


You would have thought Eric and I mastered something new and tricky today the way we've been smiling and beaming, but no, we're just proud parents.  

Go Sam!
