Big Girl Bella

Well, Bella can officially ride her bike now WITHOUT training wheels. Krissy has been doing a great job of teaching her how to ride. She still needs a little help with the takeoff and she doesn’t quite have confidence going down hills yet, but she’ll get there. I’m very proud of her.

Also in Bella news, she is doing MUCH better on recognizing letters and numbers. Krissy bought her the "Letter Factory" Leapster game and I guess it is a pretty good program. The other day Bella and I were sitting on my bed and I was looking at a paper that had multiple advertisements on it. She grabbed it out of my hand and she started reading the phone numbers off of it. I was in shock. (Had a "proud dad" moment)

In other news, I went golfing on Saturday and got a birdie on a par 4. And I have noticed that my scores are slowly getting better. I have to work on my approach game and the majority of my drives tend to have a bit of a fade (aka SLICE) to them, at least, more than I would like them to have. But I will work on it and try to work out the kinks.

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Tonya. Of course, I thought about it the day before and the day after, but forgot on the day OF. Oops. Hope you can forgive your little bro.

Much love to all,
Chad
