Laraway Family

Well, Russ is tapering his steroid dosage yet is much happier. Granted, he has reinfected himself in a few places, but he's not having nearly the reaction he had last week. Poor guy. I tell you, he looked so pitiful. But, he's well!

We've been going on bike rides every weekend. Yesterday we went one direction to a lake and park, ate, played, and came home. Today we went the opposite direction and found another park to do the same! Very nice... we are kid magnets at the park. They all come up and want to tell you their life story, touch Starks, ask you to play, etc. It's nice! So, we ate, played and came home today logging an 8 mile trip! Anthony gets stronger, braver and more adept at riding every time he goes out. I am so impressed those little legs can do so much. He's such a cutie and feels so free. He's the happiest when he's flying downhill, and the fact that it scares him and he still does it makes me happy.

Anyway, it's been a great, beautiful weekend here spending time together and with friends. It's always fun entertaining, and I get a jump on Spring cleaning! We're looking forward to our Valentine's party with our friends Tuesday afternoon. Anthony has been planning this for quite a while and is very excited! So, we hope you have a very happy Valentine's Day, and we hope to see everyone soon.
