A Mountain Bike

smiles, giggles,and happiness are for free

Today while I was  chillin with Preston cooking some eggs and french toast. We were talking about buttery french toast and how yummy it is. Preston could not get enough of how french toast sounded. I kept on saying those fabled words buttery french toast. Giggle started to come out of his little mouth and the more french toast came, the more giggle appeared. Until Preston was engulfed in full laughter. It was a momment to see my son laughing out loud. The only reason he stopped because could figure out how to breath and laugh at the same time and in the process he gave himself the hic-ups. It was amazing to see him smile and laugh.

Growing and Growing

Preston is getting bigger holding himself up and talking all the time. He is grasping and sleeping. He so great. love him. j

how funny

Last night while I was holding Preston, Holly started to clean up the living room. In this process she tried to give Preston his suckie but instead of giving it to him she tried to give it to me, I told her I'm not the one that really needs the suckie as she tries to put into my mouth. j 

spending time

Gave PB a bath today, he is on a week turn around and we need to do better. Spent a hour on the bike feeling like I'm going to be good for my first race this year. Moved my saddle up I feel this will nick my knee pain in the butt. j

Racing

It has been a bit. Preston is growing and I am starting to lose my pouch. I have had consistent work outs for the last month and I feeling like I'm getting back into shape, not race shape but able to breathe again. My knee is holding up but with some discomfort, I feel the pain is due to not being seated properly on the bike. I have taken up a new sport, mountain biking. I'm building this bike myself. I wish I could buy from a shop I feel it is a noble thing to support local bike shops but the bike I need to race costs more than I have. Internet shopping is the way to go. So my Leader 516h frame is in the mail. I am quite excited about it, much so I have been staying up all hours of the night doing research on how to build and what to build it with. But what I am uberly excited about is the fact that PB is going to be brought up in the racing community. What a great atmosphere to be brought up into. Going to races, mountain biking, road races and triathlons. Watching his Papi race. People at these events are great, so positive. It will be good for PB to be brought up in a world like this. Some of my fondest memories have been at races. I hope he will enjoy it to, if not there is always ballet. j
