My Bliss is....

Yesterday we had a beautiful moment. I felt pure joy as I helped the boys get their running shoes on (well, maybe that part wasn't pure joy. Jayson was trying to convince me that his shoes were too small for him and Aidan was licking the storm door.) We went for a family RUN! Does life get any better than that? It was only to the school down the street to fly kites (perfect day for it) but as we ran side by side I had a glimpse of future life. Honestly, I spend a lot of time not understanding boys. The aggression, the "we're best friends so we beat each other up" stance, the frenzied energy. This run was a gift. Jay pushed Charlie in the stroller and Aidan wanted to hold my hand. Then he decided it would really be best if I carried him. On my back. Then Jayson started to act like he was hyperventilating. Like I said...a beautiful moment. No pictures of the occasion either (or of the boys first pro soccer game last night, as awful as the DC United are). Our camera is dismantled on our kitchen counter because a little person jammed the lens. We went to Pennsylvania last week and Jay finally got to see Gettysburg. The camera broke before that. Fortunately Auntie Crystal saved the day again and will be giving us a copy of all of her pictures, including Jayson's first ever model rocket launch (first of many).
