Miranda and I have become bikers. Miranda wanted an old-school big-seat beach-type bike for Mother’s Day so she went ahead and got me one for my upcoming Father’s Day too. We also got a little seat for Kasen and we’ve been having tons of fun driving him around. The helmet doesn’t fit too well, but…
