Football and Bikes

Fall is a busy time here for the family.  Aidan decided he wanted to try and play football.  He started a month or so late in the season, so has had to learn a lot quick.  He seems to really enjoy it and plays linebacker for the 9th grade team.  After football comes wrestling for him in the winter, then rugby in the spring.  He definately is our sports kid.  The girls are all busy in ballet.  They will soon begin to practice for the Christmas Children's Nutcracker.  

Alistiar, four years old, learned to ride a "big boy bike" the other day.  We were amazed as it was his frost time trying.  Never had even sat on a bike before aside from his tricycle. I love the picture above.  Seems like yesterday that Anders and Aidan (next to him) learned to ride the bikes at Catherine the Greats Palace Gardens in Russia.
