Yes, I’m bragging.  I wont’ apologize for it. My daughter is that awesome.  How many kids can do this before their 5th birthday???  We finally live somewhere that is not surrounded by rocky roads, sand, and potholes.  Big Daddy took the training wheels off and she literally had this big-kid bike thing figured out in a matter of minutes.  Starting, stopping, turning, taking her hands off, lifting up her feet…she can do it all.  She even started standing up to pedal so she “could go faster”.  Incredible.  I shouldn’t be too surprised.  She was zooming down a hill on her scooter just after turning 3.  I have video of that, too, if you don’t believe me.  She has no fear.  Like father, like daughter.  I can’t wait until she is a little bigger and can really manage the waves.  I think she will be a natural at anything requiring good balance and coordination.  Surfing, gymnastics, skiing….there’s no stopping this girl.

I’m not trying to brag…

29 Feb

or am I?  If you are lucky enough to visit western Arkansas and you don’t drive by the infamous Duggar house, you automatically lose your cool card.  I was hoping to see one live and in person, but their dealership has closed down and apparently the whole clan was inside gorging on tater tot casserole while we were gawking at their pad. I could have camped out all day, paparazzi style, waiting for the perfect picture, but the men were rushing us.  Actually, I’m just thankful our friends took the time to entertain me in this way. It’s okay if you’re a little bit jealous.  I would be, too.

What's left of the car dealership.
