An Extraordinary Accomplishment!!
Today brought a most joyous accomplishment in Aaron's life. Aaron has been diligently working on learning to ride his bike. Last night, I witnessed him coasting all the way down to the neighbors with his legs just hanging down barely above the ground. He didn't touch the ground the whole way. Today, just about 5 minutes ago, Aaron and his buddy, Drew, came running inside to announce he has just learned how to ride all by himself!! I went out to watch while Drew gave him a little jump start and off he went down the sidewalk... The look of pride on his face was literally priceless! Today was truly a milestone of which Aaron can be most proud. Especially so as he never used training wheels and did it 95% on his very own. I am so happy for Aaron also because he has come home so many times this spring and early summer with a dejected look on his face, commenting how all of his friends could ride their bikes and he couldn't and therefore couldn't play with them as much as he liked. Now he's opened up a whole new world to himself. Three cheers for Aaron!!!

Send our congrats to the big guy from Auntie,Uncle and Cousins in Samm!
Jim, please give Aaron a BIG hug from us. We're so pleased that he has accomplished something that he has desired to accomplish. We think you're doing a great job as a dad. Learning to balance on a bike is NO small accomplishment. Tell Aaron that I have a friend at work (a 45 yr. old woman) who is just now learning to do the same thing! Remind him that God is his friend and will help him throughout his entire life. You're doing a great job--don't ever give up.
We get excited about every accomplishment. Life is difficult, and having a victory is wonderful!
Love,
Aunt Mary & Uncle Dave
