Wow! Riding a Bike for the First Time!

Our son is autistic and AWESOME!  He can now ride a bike without training wheels.  This video is fantastic to us, but even more cool is that after a couple of days of riding he looks like he’s been riding for years.  He’s 15 now and has his sights set on DRIVING!

UPDATE: Check out him driving a tractor!

My little girl is growing up so fast. I’m trying to capture moments in the kid’s lives in photography. Lately I decided to make some of them into finished pieces that I will be able to hang on the wall. This is the first of many, I hope.

Thanks to the group of young women that offered to take this photo of our family. I don’t know who you are, but this picture is special to me. Thanks!

Our family hiked up to the Crystal Cave at Garner State Park in Texas. The hike was a challenge due to our crew consisting of seven people and three dogs… but we made it! The cave itself wasn’t super spectacular, but the hike is a valuable memory.

I don’t post often enough… I also probably don’t share my love for my kid’s often enough.

Son, this is just a short note to say that I love you! I really am proud of you.

Camping and fishing trips are more enjoyable with you around. I appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to help.

Love Dad.

George Ranch – Houston, TX

Our family took a little weekend vacation to Houston again. This time the main attraction was George Ranch. George Ranch is a Living History ranch, where you get to experience 100 years in the life of a Texas Ranch.

We had the most fun at the first stop which is the 1830’s ranch. The characters working that ranch were super attentive to our kids. We got to experience things from making cornbread, feeding pigs and chickens, to making cedar shingles for the smoke house.

The kids had so much fun that I’d like to go back someday. Click on the photo to go to my Flickr Photo album of the trip. Included in the trip album are photos of the Houston Zoo and Museum of Natural Science.
