Bike Team!

For those of you who have been checking out our "Coming Events" at the botton of this page, you will be pleased to see some of these photos! The Bike Team from Texas has arrived!


This is Johnny. He is the leader of the pack. A gentle giant... and pretty good with a bike.


Will is the audio/video guy. He rides right along with them, but he also makes great DVDs of their trips.


Ryan is helping to build a bike ramp in the empty lot next to our house... that is, until the owners showed up and put a stop to it. They were afraid we might mess up the property that they may or may not build on in the next 20 years. We were actually cleaning up all the garbage for him!

We knew we had kids in our neighborhood, but they really came out of the woodwork when Jake started doing his tricks. We were warned about Jake before he came. He is not afraid of anything, even getting hurt! He proved it the first night he was here by shattering a coffee mug with his foot. Ouch!


He is even crazy without a bike!



I let them do this to Steve, but when Maddie tried to volunteer I said, "Enough is enough!"


These are two girls, Anna & Ira, that we have been getting to know when they come to our house every other week to practice their English. Yes, that is me... I went a little short and light for the summer!

Hey, you guys in the states yet. If you're heading down here, let us know. And if not, we will even make a trip that way, or half way. Hope to see you guys soon.

Hey! I'm so excited to see you here. I found this through the crossings. We have four daughters as well! It's so amazing what can happen over the course of just a few years isn't it? It's so awesome that you are still in Russia. I miss it!!!
Well, drop me a note sometime. dagilberts@gmail.com

love the cute haircut!
thought it's odd to hear you speak of summer and yet you are in turtleneck and jacket!
Still checking in on your family.
