Trying to Ride a Bicycle

So a few weeks back we were at the lake for a BBQ with some family and Koen tried to ride a big bicycle with no training wheels. His cousin, who's a year older, had just figured it out and was riding it around so, of course, Koen wanted to do it too. Rolf helped him and got him going but he just couldn't get the hang of it quite yet. This bike is bigger and heavier than the one he has at home, but just maybe sometime in the near future he'll be riding in no time.

I had to post these pictures of Emileigh. This is so her! For those of you who have spent enough time around her were she's completely comfortable with you, then you've seen this side of her. She can be so silly at times. Here she's squinting on purpose so you can't see her eyes, at all!

And this one, she told me to take a picture of her silly face...

And, a quick side note, the purse she's holding is one I bought for her at the dollar store after I caught her trying to create a purse out of several different items she had. There was about a two week period where she wouldn't go anywhere without this new purse and she would get so upset if we were heading out the door and she didn't have it. It was well used and she still plays with it occasionally. It was the best dollar I ever spent!
