While I was gone

I was gone most of last week, at the annual Veterinary Dental Forum.  Its my conference, my people, all teeth, all the time.  The week before Anthony was gone all week; he left again this morning, back on Friday.  It's the new normal.

While I was gone he sent me this great group of pictures.  Colin, after sticking to his scooter far too long, finally learned to bike on his tiny heavy beginner bike.  Once he had that down, he soon took to stealing Anna's 5-speed.  Even though it is pink, it was far superior to what he'd been using.  Anthony got him his own bike -- in blue, much better -- and left it for him in the garage with a note saying "To Colin, Love Mom and Dad."

After Colin got home on Friday, a beautiful Texas fall day, he ditched his school things and went out to the garage.  He started wheeling Anna's pink bike out when something caught his eye.

 Now he's jumping up and down and squealing.

 He's a pro already!


Can't you feel his joy?
