Two!

Ole turned two on Sunday and we celebrated with a family cookout. Long after his chant of "Birthday Cake!" has subsided, we'll remember how much he enjoyed his second birthday.

The new bike sneaks in behind the kazoo sheriff.

With just a few days of practice, he's already so steady on his new balance bike that we've been riding a half mile down the road together to pick berries after dinner. And our road is hilly. He just "gets" how to coast a bit and then slow himself. It's mighty impressive for a just-two-year-old.

Now bike on home.

Here's the only self-timer shot I attempted. Not so easy with moving targets!
