At least the 9 inches of snow melted enough to ride on the driveway, but we got another 4 inches yesterday.  Despite the bright sun and lighter coats, it was still quite chilly outside (in the upper 30's), but this feels warm after all the snow, ice, sleet, and rain we have had.

I am not sure how they keep from running into each other

Pure silliness

And more silliness

Luke and Liam were quite excited about upgrading to bigger bikes over the weekend.  We got their previous bikes when they were around 3 years of age and now Aiden is big enough to ride them.  Luke, particularly, looked a bit like a giant on his little 12" bike.  When we first purchased Luke and Liam's bikes, it was during the winter so they technically learned to ride in our basement, but it took them all of about 5 minutes to figure it out.  Aiden, on the other hand, has shown little or no interest in biking.  He would much rather run around chasing the boys behind the bikes or pushing his cozy coupe and ramming into the side of them on their bikes.  Not sure what it is going to take to get him to actually ride a bike.  Next on the agenda for Luke and Liam this summer:  Learn to ride without training wheels!  Our forecast for the weekend shows a possible high of 60 degrees!!!  I will believe it when I see it, but I am still optimistic.

We have come a long way in our bike riding over 2 years!
