On Thursday, Eli I met with my friend Amy and her little girl, Haley. Amy said Haley was bringing her bike, did Eli want to ride, too?
So, I knew Aunt Paula had a bike that Wes had outgrown and they had been storing it for us for when Eli got big enough. So we went over and got the bike and gave it a bath, got it all cleaned up, put air in the tires and on the way to Kidzville, we stopped at Walmart and picked up a helmet and elbow and knee pads.
I have some great pics and video on my iphone- hopefully soon to be on the blog :)
He did great!!! He got right on the bike and went and went and went. Sooo amazing!
At end of day, he said he couldn't wait until he was big enough to get a bike that had emergency brakes on them, like his cousins/.....

Papaw's Surgery, Papa's birthday
Papaw was scheduled for surgery to replace his old, worn out knees. The day, time and number of knees to be replaced all changed the week of surgery.
Eli went to visit Miss Melanie- whom he loves to go and play with!! while we all went to the hospital. Papaw did great!!
We brought Eli the next day to visit and say hi to Papaw and got there just in time to go for a walk down the hallway with the PT guy. Papaw went slow and steady- we were so proud of him!!
Later that evening, after I got Eli all ready for bed, we made one last trek down the hall to go potty. He stopped, and I thought he was doubling over- like maybe cramping. I became concerned and asked him if he was ok. I realized he was going very very slowly, and then he said-...I'm walking like Papaw!
Papaw did so well, he was able to come back home on Monday- just 2 days after his surgery!! Also, Tim's birthday. I had planned to take Eli to Daddy's work along with a cake and surprise Tim there for his birthday. However, he stayed home that day so he could go help his dad home from the hospital, and Eli removed any surprise we might have had by asking about 20 times for the chocolate cake we were making later that day to eat for breakfast!!
So, surprise thwarted, cake made, I brought over lunch which we shared with the family and then Tim went to Tat's and got pizza for supper with chocolate cake with Tim's family celebrating with him, instead of just us. It was a great day all around!!
Daddy's cake!! Perfectly chocolate chocolate cake with reeses cups in the batter and a peanut butter chocolate frosting in the middle. Yummy!!
God is good!! We are all so thankful for Papaw's speedy recovery and that he continue to heal so quickly!
