SO BIG!

Today was the official removal of the training wheels. Raychel has been asking Dad for a while now, and it was a perfect day to try it out.
James was awesome! So patient and consistent. I was very proud to call him the father of my children today. :-)

Falling down, but still has a big smile on her face.
James got some good cardio this afternoon!
One happy girl mastering a new skill.

Another cute girlie.

I'm SO happy my parents live right around the corner. Raychel called them and said, "I have a big surprise for you. Can you come over now?" They came right over, and it was a big surprise!
Following dad. He was challenging her at the end of the "session" to follow his moves. She did pretty good turning and anticipating his next move.
A great day, indeed! My mom made a comment today that all those "NICU haters" should see Raychel now! (There was really only one Dr who had no faith that Raychel would ever survive or be "normal". However, Raychel had more believers than non-believers. I think Raych has exceeded all expectations!)
Another happy Roylance chick.

Awesome! That is so great that Raychel can ride without training wheels. I love all the pictures of James and Raychel together. Such a great memory! Good job capturing it all.
