Simon and I got new bikes! SO exciting. I got a road bike for the 2 races I plan on doing next summer and I generally like road biking a ton better than mountain biking. Simon got a mountain bike. He has really been enjoying (in the summer) the trails at the nearby state park and has even taken Ruthie on the easy trails a few times. We really feel it is so important to show and experience healthy activities with the girls. I dream of taking a multi-day family bike trek through Vermont during the foliage. But that may take a few years.
Simon is the best person to buy a present for, if you get him clothes, say a shirt, he must try it on immediately, with every pair of pants he owns. Shoes same thing, he is rather funny and like a kid on Christmas with EVERY thing you get him. So, I was not surprised at all when we came home on Friday night from dinner out and the bikes were calling his name in the garage, I couldn't find him and there he was riding his bike in the garage since there was too much snow outside.
Reminds me of the infamous mini-van story.
While some people nest when they are pregnant, I shop. So there I was with a 11 month old baby, and a baby expected any day and I panicked, I needed automatic doors, couldn't live without them. Thus the mini-van was a must. Three days before Ruthie's 1st birthday and 4 days before Lucy's arrival, I went out and bought a mini-van, called Simon at work and said... "Umm, I traded in the Explorer, and bought a mini-van. I am driving it right now, can you swing by after work and sign the paperwork" Ohh, my husband soo loves me.
Anyhoo, we didn't really have a chance to fully check it out and get a great understanding of how it worked and all its function before Lucy arrived. So, we are home from the hospital for a day or 2, I need Simon for something and can't find him anywhere. I am yelling for him, have both the kids crying and I am trying to find my way, and he is nowhere to be found.
I finally found him in the garage in the 3 rd row seat of the mini-van watching a movie. He said, he wanted to see how good the TV was and would never get a chance to ride in the back of the car. Oh Simon.
I love him.
