Crossing Bridges (and dams!)

I realize that my last post was somewhat vague and provided little information about what exactly we as a family have been dealing with over the last week. Without getting into specifics, (because we still don't know many of them) I will just say that there may be some changes in the location of Pete's job...

For now, we are trying to stay present and focus on the fact that we are together and once again able to enjoy doing things as a family.

Yesterday we did just that and made our way across and back over the Lake Murray Dam. Pete and I roller bladed while we took turns pushing Jules in the stroller and Nate rode his bike. Over and back we accomplished the 3.2 miles of pathway...



(no one we know, just a decent photo of the Dam's walking path)

I was especially proud of Nate who, about halfway back across started losing wind. The poor little guy was really close to leaving his bike behind and slowly walking the rest of the way. While Pete and Jules went ahead, I grabbed one of Nate's hands and helped pull him along a bit! That in addition to the promise of a trip later in the day to Cold Stone Creamery for some ice cream, certainly helped to motivate him in finishing the ride!
