March 2021

Here's a little photo dump before our March Florida trip post. 

There was the bike buying day though, which was more difficult than I ever could have imagined. Another thanks to COVID. We went to several stores. None had bikes in stock that fit the boys. Finally, Henry found the one he wanted, in the color he wanted and in his size. A miracle. He was so happy. 

While buying Henry's bike, I could tell Cole was trying to be happy for him, but he was so disappointed that he couldn't find a bike. He had been wanting and in need of one for a long time and was so pumped to go shopping. I felt pretty crushed seeing him start to tear up. 

So we expanded our search and Kristin started calling bike stores all over the place. Finally, the Trek store in Sheboygan had one orange bike in his size in stock. The store was closing at about the exact time Google Maps said we'd get there, so we quick hopped in the car and drove to Sheboygan. Thankfully we made it in time and they didn't sell it out from under us. We were only a little late to our dinner plans with the Kroners too. So that's our bike story and Cole was a very happy boy.    

Before - braces

After - no braces

Now he has a retainer that falls out every single night and is impossible to find. It's super annoying. 

Ice rink was fun for all and pretty well used. We are even looking at a possible expansion for this winter. 

This was an unsuccessful attempt at potty training. Spoiler alert:  It does happen this year, although maybe the level of success is yet to be determined. I literally just got a text today (9/9/21) that Lou pooped his pants at preschool.   

Don't worry. They have their Whittling Chits.
