today i had an awesome day. my family who adopted A and i took us with them for their labor day picnic. we drove down to lincoln park zoo, parked the car and biked to some very fun places. we rode to millenium park then to the northerly beach to a secret park and then back. it was like a four hour adventure. i rode with A in a buggie behind me, but because i was new at all this, R had to take the hills... thanks R, i don't know if i could have don't it without you. you're strong. A had a great time with all the kids and didn't want to come home it was so much fun.
i do have to say that throughout the adventure i had one thought in mind, "if only P could see what i'm doing... he'd be so proud of me". (he also would have not let me bike our daughter around like i did... he's a little protective) anyway... i just think, if only i could somehow tell him what i did today...
it was a fun adventurous day and i hope to have more of those as days go on... it makes me feel like i have accomplished something on my own.
please pray for us as we are going on a trip to see some friends, actually they are more like family, for several days. please pray for safe travels and a quick one for A. this is my first trip with just A and i, so pray that i could do everything right, or at least close to it.
