All of this got me motivated to wash all the bedding's throughout the house and then go on a little run and I say 'little' because I am so out of shape it is not funny. I ran to the end of our property and back and I was getting worried about my breathing until I realized that Tasha and Apple were breathing just as hard as I was :) to their defense I have to admit they have been playing and running all morning, thought :)
The boys and I also were able to do some 'Yoga', thanks to the instructions we received at the Therapy Evaluation yesterday. Maybe I am brave enough to add a Video of the three of us one day to show what it looks like when we are all attempting the 'bridge' 10 times for 10 seconds each. I am sure it makes for a funny sight :)
After we all got a little nap time in we spend the afternoon sitting outside on the Back-Deck for Coffee & Cake while listening to the thunder roll in. There were just a couple of lightnings but the view of the clouds moving and the air just slightly cooling of was just heavenly. Everything was so harmonious about today and I wish I could bottle up the feelings. Ron got some work done as well cutting down three tree's so he can widen the driveway to the backyard and after this we sat outside reading books while it rained :) Yes, we sat under the porch :) and what started out with just Ron and I ended up with the four of us 'reading' outdoors in the rain.
What I also cherished today was the recognition that our boys are getting to experience some of the freedom Ron and I had as kids. This morning they both took off playing outdoors in the playground and forest in front of the house and other then me looking outside the kitchen window once in a while they had complete freedom. I have a huge comfort of course due to the dogs being with them and it is liberating to know that they are getting some of the freedom to play unsupervised in a way just like I did when I took of at their age playing at the lake with my friends and only coming home to eat :) I think this art is being lost because there are so many thinks to worry about now and truly if we lived in town or in a city I would never allow them to have this much freedom at their age. Having a drive-up alarm and Video surveillance of course lets us control their freedom but they don't know that :):):). So today it was brought back to my memory why this move to Colorado was so important. We moved out here so our boys can grow up with a sense of freedom and confidence that might have been harder to teach in a City. Of course there is Street Smarts as well and I hope they get that from our travelings :)
Okay, I am back to cooking dinner now and hope that your Friday was as peaceful as ours was :)
Love,
