On my very first attempt today, I rode my bicycle with no training wheels! And only 10 minutes after that, I was able to get started all on my own, without my dad helping me get started.

But as usual, my silly dad forgot to bring out the video camera, so you’ll have to take my word for it!

Less Borneo

OK, I’m still a little bit of a wild woman, but now it’s not the hair!

Wild Woman of Borneo

 

I can sit up now …

Mommy likes to call the one on the top left, “Thunder and Lightening.” Even in the spring, “I’m freezin’, brrrrr!” And don’t you just love the ladybugs too?

Isn’t it adorable that I am trying to help feed Isaac?

Think again! We have only one high chair … and Isaac is invading it. It’s easy to play the sweet sister … but mommy knows the real deal. Darn it! Will they know what I am doing when I sneak out of the house as a teenager too?

Little man is finally getting his first taste of freedom. Daddy figures that if he locks us up enough, we might grow up to be the radicals he hopes we become. Mommy is already turning into one, and all it took was for her to pay attention a little more closely to what is going on around her.

Not when Daddy has to carry them up to the top, but when it’s time for a picture, it sure would be nice to have another set of hands. Here we are at the top of Pittsfield State Forest, along the Taconic Range. The Catskills are what we are looking at, to the West. I’m sure we’ll love Rochester, but daddy sure does love living in and near the mountains. Let’s hope he doesn’t go all Alexander Supertramp on us.
