There are some childhood milestones, for sure...and learning to ride a two-wheeler is one of them. Sascha is now in the Two-Wheeler club, as of September 8! We were having our annual tie-dye party and a friend of hers brought over her two-wheeled bike. Sascha got on and took off without looking back! I'm sure it helped that she has been riding this all summer.
Sascha now has a new, smaller bike (since the $10 thirdhand one we'd gotten her was way too big for her to get on and off after we'd taken the training wheels off!), as well as a new, shorter haircut. She actually ASKS me to brush her hair now, because it doesn't hurt. (See photo below.)
Late summer/early fall is usually amazing in Vermont, and this year it has not disappointed us. We have been kayaking, raspberry picking, and just generally wandering around the neighborhood as much as possible. This weekend we are all headed to Waterbury, where I (Nancy, that is) will be running in a half marathon. I love this race because it starts at a reasonable time (11 am) and because the scenery is outstanding (except for last year when it rained!). I do wish there was a way to flatten out some of the hills, but they haven't figured that out yet.
On to what the grandparents really want - photos!
(No, it hasn't gotten cold enough to wear fleece sleepers yet! They were just trying them on.)
New haircut photo! (And yes, they have dolls tied around their waists with shoestrings.)
