biking and sweaters

Willa has been begging for months now to have a bike of her own. We bought Larkin the next size up in bikes and gave Larkin's old bike to Willa (poor girl always gets the hand-me-downs!). She didn't mind though and couldn't wait to ride her big girl bike on the biking trail near our house.

She can ride super fast and can steer around any obstacle, but can't brake on command--so watch out!!! She's kind of like a mini-Joel on a skateboard!

Larkin usually rides up in front (she knows to stay far away from Willa!) and then stops and waits for everyone to catch up.



A few days ago the weather changed and we got our first breath of fall air. It was in the upper 50's in the morning, and the girls ran outside and then immediately ran back in to find warmer clothes. They were excited to finally get to wear these cute sweaters that their Great Aunt Karen knit for them. I'm sure they will be wearing these a lot this year--they are so cute!! They kept saying, "Good thing we have these warm sweaters. It's freezing out here!"

Willa is mad at me in this picture because I took like 20 pics of them trying to find the best lighting. Forget the lighting-her face is priceless! Come on Mom, quit taking pictures of me!!
