Jake's rockin' new haircut...(goodness!...you mean it was even LONGER than this??!...she cut off enough hair for two entire other people!!)...
Sam punched out the lenses in these 3-D glasses, and wore them all weekend...
Jake getting in some driving time/lessons...
(and me doing my best to not freak out and to c-a-l-m-l-y help/direct him...and at this time I'd like to express my deep gratitude to those of you who sat in the passenger seat while I was learning to drive...!)
Sam was exploring Dave's XM radio in his new truck...he was loving the '40's station (after he asked, jokingly, "There was music in the forties??" :)
Determination. For various reasons, Jake and Sam have not yet learned how to ride a bike (for Jake, when he was younger, it was part motor skill challenges, part over-thinking the process...for both, it was the fact that we have lived on steep hills and dirt roads...not very good *bike-riding learning* platforms).
But today, Jake Was Determined.
He took my bike up the driveway at the river cabin and coasted down. Over and over and over and over again.
Determination.
He has a vision of him living in the Queen Street West area of Toronto and riding his bike for transportation.
Motivation.
And he DID it!! Hours later, he was Balancing and Pedaling and RIDING!
He did it.
In his own time...
In his own way...
And I don't know how this picture happened, but I just absolutely love it. Dave was actually the only thing *moving* at the time, and yet he's the one thing that's not blurry. I love it.
