"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed... Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are acheiving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

-2 Corinthians 4: 7-9, 16-18

Maddy's First Whip!

Ben got the crazy idea that Maddy should have her first set of wheels at the age of 21 months... when he first brought up the idea I thought (and hoped!) it was something he'd be over in a couple days, because I didn't want to think about her taking spills in the driveway or making that kind of "investment" (those things aren't cheap!) only to not have her not care a thing about it and have it sitting there taking up valuable real estate in our garage for years to come.

He did his research, we went to a few pawn shops looking for used ones, and after two weeks of listening to him mention it I caved.  I figured he works so hard to provide for our family and if this is what he wants to spend our little "extra" on, it's a selfless way to spend it and worth the smiles on both of their faces...

Even on the first day!

I think even Case was a little concerned at first...


But Daddy had everything under control...  I asked "doesn't she need a helmet for this??"  Ben replied, "Ally, it goes less than 2mph."


And she had so much fun!  Thank you Daddy!

    You know when Marce and I were little we always wanted something like this but it didn't come about. THEN benjamin came along and he got one before he could even press the go pedal! :) I'm glad he's sharing the experience with Maddy!
    and don't feel bad for marce and I we drove his jeep around PLENTY! even though we were too big.
