A year ago Christmas, Marshall got a really nice, new bike. Last summer while he was at a friends house, someone came into his friend's garage and STOLE it! He was so sad and upset. Both of the other boys have a bike, so when they all went out to play, Marshall was stuck riding his scooter. He has been begging Jeff and me and get him a new bike. I refused, knowing how much "santa" spent on the other one, ($180). I looked on craigs list yesterday and found 3 that seemed to be possible candidates. 1 sold, 1 was donated to charity and 1 was STILL available. The boy who it belonged to has 3 bikes and this one just didn't ever get used! What a find! We jumped into the van and went to pick it up. Marshall was elated! I cannot even begin to portray how happy he was to have a bike again. $45 is such a small price to pay for this grin. Here is a picture of Marshall on his new set of wheels, not even 2 minutes after we got home.
