Biking for all!

We found an AMAZING bike shop last spring, The Bike Rack, in St. Charles, Illinois. In addition to selling traditional bikes, Hal Honeyman will fit and offer advice to help kids with special needs find a bike that works for them. Hal began adapting bikes for his own son, Jacob, and now adapts traditional bikes with such specialty items such as extra wide tires and belted seats, and also offers adaptive bikes and tandems.

Look at the red beauty Kyle got at The Bike Rack!

How does it get there? We don’t know, but we’re sure it has something to do with little boys…

Happy Birthday, Tim!

I love you tons- S.


Spring!

I know it seems early here in Chicago. We have snow, and we’ll probably have more, perhaps even one of those winter storms that hint at a snow day.

But today it feels like SPRING. Birds are singing their return, the sun is shining & the sky is the bluest blue, a blue we don’t remember through all those gray winter skies.

And look, there’s proof! Here’s what we found in the yard today:
