Viva Bike Vegas

One of the main reasons I was really bummed when Eric came home with a spranged ankel was because he had been working very hard to get into shape to do Viva Bike Vegas with his brother Chris who was traveling from Maryland. We won't go into the other selfish reasons that I was disappointed (I'm supposed to be the gimp being in my last month of pregnancy and two weekends in a row of fun and adventure for Eric while I endure my last of pregnancy-whine, cry, sigh). Anywho...

We all really looked forward to meeting our new nephew Charlie for the first time. He is nine months now but this is the first time we've seen him. Such a cutie and a lot of fun to have around. He warmed up quite easily to Eric.

Taylor and Will really enjoyed having a baby around and getting to know Charlie better.

Hooray for Chris!They had a bike course for the kids where Taylor, Will, and Reagan all got free bike helmets.

Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder were down for the weekend as well. We really enjoyed having family come to visit. Thanks Chris for bringing Rachel and Charlie with you. It was fun to get to know my sister-in-law better as we don't get to see each other very often and of course seeing Charlie finally! Come visit again!
