Photo shoot

Marking the end of a great fortnight with my sisters crew, we got some professional pictures!

Cool Rider

One of our goals for this summer was to help Emma ride her bike without stabilizers.  Toby has long been riding on two wheels, but Emma has struggled with nervousness due to the instability with lack of speed.

Yesterday, after a long couple of weeks with Scott being gone a lot (big renovation at church), we took it easy for the afternoon and decided to take the kids over to their school and practice with the bikes. 

Scott helped Emma find her balance, without pedalling and then she worked her way up to this!



She is super proud of herself, not least because there were many moments that she wanted to give up and try another day. 

Now we need to get her a size appropriate bike!!

10 Years

Emma walked in to my room this morning and looked old beyond her years!  It is incredible to think how much has happened in the past 10 years, since we got her initial pre-natal diagnosis.  What a wild ride of ups and downs, uncharted territory and incredible obstacles.

She truly is a limited edition.  I would add, a most precious rarity.
