Big Changes
Naomi riding her new bicycle sans extra wheels.
We've had some major changes in our house over the past week: Naomi is riding her bike without training wheels. Mirabel is sleeping in her big girl bed, has given the crib to Jude on her own initiative and is pooping on the potty. Judah is taking a bottle beautifully. And, we sold our loyal 1999 Civic.
That Civic was the first car I bought on my own, has been dependable for the past 12 years and is the very car we brought home 3 of our 4 kids from the hospital. It's now going to great new owners, and we get to use the cash to pay for a new, unexpected roof. Hooray!

Wow! Life is an adventure isn't it.
Good bye Civic. Didn't know about the roof! There's always something to keep you on your toes.
So proud of Naomi...she's got wheels, too!

Clarification: that Civic money will pay for less than half of that new, aforementioned roof. Back to work...

Yeah, we didn't know about the roof either. That was today's fun surprise!

Looks like the Chandlers have reached another phase of the "big girl" status - two in fact, the bicycle and the potty. Each step is a big relief for the parents, but for us watching it is one step closer to the empty nest syndrome which comes too quickly in ones life. Enjoy! Hugs, Jo
