LILY'S NEW BIKE

Chris got this bike for Lily about a week ago. It was supposed to be a gift from Santa, but he couldn't wait. It is called a Strider running bike. They are made without pedals and they are supposed to teach kids how to balance themselves on a bike so they won't need training wheels. They had a pink one, but we decided to get the green one since Luke will be using it next. He will probably be sick of pink things to play with by then!

This bike only weighs about 7 lbs., but Lily's poor little arms can barely hold it up!

Chris you remind me so much of Frankie. It is hard for him to hold back things too. Smart thinking on getting a green bike instead of pink. Lily, you look so tiny on that bike. Chris, have I told you lately that you look just like your Dad. :-) We are getting excited!! Love, Merry
