We got out our helmets today. Yesterday Ethan rode his bike into a passing car and got pretty banged up. Of course our first day out and we didn't even think to pull out bike helmets. The kids were showing me how they were learning to ride their rip sticks and later we got out the bikes. I had been in the house for 15 minutes and I heard a terrible bang/crashing sound. Ethan rode out of the neighbors drive way and didn't see the car because of the fence on the corner and ran right into the side of the car. Good thing the girl wasn't going very fast, she was watching the kids in our driveway. I felt so bad for her it really shook her up, she even came to check on him today. But it was good he hit her car and not the car hitting him, it would have been a lot worse. His knees are really banged up and pretty sore, he also has scratches up his back and back of his head. So we spent the evening at Primary Children's hospital having him checked out. Everything is fine and he is doing really well today. We were all out on the rip sticks again today, but with our HELMETS!
I don't want to hear any jokes about me being responsible for three more... and if I can do it or not.
He was trying to show me his knees here, but didn't work too well. You can't really tell, but his bike handles and brakes are bent up.
Look at that hair! It's getting long. He's growing it out for the Suzzical Musical he is in next week, but it is driving his dad crazy!

Oh those poor knees! How totally scary! We really need to get helmets. . . I'm SO glad you're home!! I worried so much about you. Hope the second go-round to the Ukraine is a little more smooth. We are excited to meet our new cousins!
You're a GREAT mom! And even a few bruises can't hide that. I had a little girl ride into the side of my "moving" car last year. She was so scared and worried about getting in trouble by the police that she rode off before I could even call them. It happens. Is it so great to be back with your kiddos here in the USA? I can't even imagine. Love ya!
Glad to see those helmets on! You will be fine with 6, but hold on tight, I think this will be a ride we will all remember!
Glad it was not too serious. I'm guilty for letting it slip sometimes. It's a good reminder for all of us.
we miss you and love you gius from tingey
