As a mother there have been moments in my life that my heart has swelled with pride. Last Saturday we had one such moment. Joe recently took the training wheels off Aaliyah's bike, however every time we tried to get her to ride the bike she wouldn't do it. This last Saturday she decided she was going to do it. She got on her bike, tried it and did it! When she came in the house yelling "Mom come see me ride my bike!" I thought I was going to cry. As I was watching my baby girl ride down the street without training wheels I felt like she was going off to college. I cant believe she is growing up so quickly. And even though in some ways it makes me wish I could keep her little, I am also so proud of what a good job she is doing growing up.

You're such a great mom Crystal. Joe is such a great Dad.

I hope my family is as awesome as yours is.

And I love you.

Milestones. I remember the first time Crystal rode her bike without training wheels. And now look at her. She is a mother and experiencing the same joyful experiences!!!!!
