Wheels

Image
Jonas is now confidently riding his bike with no training wheels - the first true free ride taking place earlier this month at the local park, and continuing in the hot Kelowna sun. The first several rides Jonas would naturally request the training wheels be put back on. Now he demands, in no uncertain terms, they be left off! The kids love riding up and down the pathway in front of our house. We have been playing Tennis too, occasional matches against our Russian neighbors, on our very own court! This month the kids have been harvesting tomatoes they planted with their own hands. Jonas is approximately 44 inches tall, loves to help, and is becoming quite the independent and imaginative young man, enjoys his Lego projects (Mom too), and is ready-eddy for Kindergarten. Nadia, 36 inches tall, has quite the singing voice, has taken some big-girl steps with potty-training, and is eager to start Preschool!

Nadia, que linda!

Ribeiro means river. I think about the river of life written in the bible: "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal..." and I thank God for my family.
