Family Bike Ride!

What a wonderful blessing the Lord gave to our family yesterday! Not only was the weather beautiful and warm, but the kids and I were surprised by Ellis coming home early in the afternoon and taking us out on a family bike ride. Ellis is on a wonderful surgery rotation right now (more free time than he has had in the last nine months), and we are enjoying any time we can get with him :).

I thought I would post some photos of our time together so we can remember this day. It will be wonderful to look back and see how the Lord has provided for our family. It has been tough on us all having daddy gone so much, but God is taking care of us.

First, we stopped at a local dive to grab some burgers (the best we have ever tasted!) and dinner for the kids. As opposed to the usual circus that we bring to a restaurant, we were able to enjoy the food and each other without having to request a mop to clean up our mess at the end of the meal!

Corrie enjoyed "dressing up" in mommy's bike helmet

Mac actually ate some food (a rarity at meal times) and here he is saying "I eatin' a HOTDOG!"

We ended our ride by visiting the neighborhood park, where we got to play with our buddies, the Troxell boys (Miles, Riley & Cooper). Such great personalities...can you see why Mac gets along with these guys so well?
