Caleb's new bike

(Joel writing here.) Some things your kids do can just make your heart melt. The other day I was just arriving home from work when Caleb, with the happiest "toothless" grin on his face, called out from the side of the road, "Dad, I'm riding my new bike." I couldn't actually hear what he was saying since the car windows were shut - he had to fill me in later on what he had actually said. But boy, was he happy. My boss had given us a boy's bike about a year ago that his son had outgrown. Caleb is now big enough to handle it, and Tina had let him ride it for the first time. It's hard to put into words the feeling I get when I recall such toothless happiness. After parking the car, I had to go get the camera to record the event of the day.
