Let’s Ride Bikes

Noah has some very generous Grandparents! Thanks to their birthday gifts to Noah, Dave was able to buy a new bike!  Wait? What?  🙂

We’ve been itching to get Noah out on a bike for sometime and finally purchased a baby/toddler seat and a bike to tote him around town. He loves riding and smiles and claps throughout the rides. He likes to go fast… just ask Dave. So far we’ve ridden to the park and around the neighborhood with a couple of longer trips to uptown Charlotte.

Riding to uptown Charlotte. This is the perfect ride for a Sunday... there is no one on the roads, but you get to enjoy the city.

Slide1Happy Birthday to our little buddy Noah! (A little late with this post…) In June we had an amazing weekend celebrating his birthday, baby dedication at our church and Dave’s second Father’s Day.

We were fortunate to have Noah’s Uncle Steve and his girlfriend Cynthia join us for some birthday festivities. We also had 30+ friends an neighbors over to celebrate. Looking around at all of our new friends and neighbors, along with those who we have remained close with through all of our moves was really heartwarming.

On Sunday Noah was dedicated at our church, Watershed, along with several other babies. We just love Watershed and we hope that as he gets older, Noah will too. Every week he goes to “Greenhouse” where he gets to play with the other babies and always gets a great report from the volunteers there! We were blessed to be able to have him dedicated at such a wonderful church.
