We had a great ride and the whole day was perfect. I couldn't have hoped for anything better that this!
We are slow to write, but things are going well for us. We have been very busy with things like the Chicken Pox, BMX racing, potty training, birthday dinner, Valentines festivities, the Eugene Bike Summit, lots of freelance work, pizza dinners with company, painting inside, fence rework, tree trimming, work and school. Paul has been doing a lot of GEARs volunteer work and Monica has had a few school policy meetings a couple of focus groups relating to children w/ disabilities.
The weather the last two months has really been easy to bike in too. We are already planning our garden for this Spring - we've ordered the seeds from Territorial Seed Co. through Rainy's school fund raiser.
Paul also put up a new website for his sales work at Bike Friday. The address is http://bikefridaypaul.com/blog
Our Chickens are back to laying full time, five eggs a day, and the bees have been flying a couple of the warmer days.
We are looking forward to this summer already. We are closing in on a full year of being car free. Check out some of our recent photos at the Gallery. I think I may be reworking this blog over to WorkPress in the next few months.
We got these license plates for our bikes for Christmas. We will be installing them on our bikes this week. Car free living is working out good. We certainly aren't getting out as much, but we aren't wasting time and money at gas stations and fast food places either. I think going carfree has helped us keep our priorities closer to where we want them to be.
Our kids are getting ready for Christmas break. They hauled a Christmas Tree down off of the hill on the bike trailers (one tied behind the other). We received snow and ice and they've even had the chance to go sledding. We've been keeping the wood stove warm, and the inside activities are keeping them pretty busy too. Kidical Mass - a Pizza Get Together - and a ride around town to look at the Christmas Lights and have some fun with other families. Dare is missing from this photo, but check him out at: our Photo Gallery.
