Big Girl Bike

The Little Miss is quite proud of the fact she got her first "big girl" bike this weekend. This new bike suits her most stringent requirements; it meets her favorite color criteria (purple and pink) and has a cute basket. Her mommy wanted to get a new helmet to match but the Little Miss is partial to her old, reliable, red helmet (much to Mr. Wagner's relief).

On a another note, Yours Truly had to share pics from the rose tree in our backyard, proof that there are still plants alive and well even a week after being planted! I am really happy with our choice in planting this as I love roses but never have liked the thorns. This tree still has thorns but they are high enough off the ground that they won't interfere with backyard playing. Can't wait for even more flowers to bloom!
