No Training Wheels!

We had been talking about removing the training wheels from the girls' bikes sometime in the near future, then last Saturday I was up in our bathroom getting ready for our date and glanced out the window and there was Paul and the girls, with the training wheels off of their bikes and him helping Kayley ride.  She was able to do it for little bit but couldn't start out herself or turn around.  Olivia tried too but I don't think she really did it without Paul hanging on the whole time.

Tuesday I practiced with them and Kayley was getting better but still couldn't start by herself and Olivia still couldn't really do it without me hanging on.  Then yesterday we tried again and at first it was the same, but after awhile Kayley was able to start by herself and then so could Olivia!  Now they can both ride their bikes without training wheels!  Good job, girls!


Here's a video of Kayley.  I took one of Olivia, too, but she's already way better than in the video so I'm going to take a new one next time they ride.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
