Mama's birthday part I

Last week Reed's daycare was closed so I worked Monday (Grandpa Greg and Grandma Kathy came for the day) and then I took the rest of the week off to have some Mama-boys time. We went to the lake Tuesday morning until Thursday morning and packed in so much fun: fishing, blueberry picking, boat ride, bike riding and playground-ing, lake swimming, and swimming pool swimming. The day before my birthday, Wednesday, we spent part of the morning at the Trumansburg schools playground. As soon as he got out of the car, Beckett said, "I broke my leg here." He took us right over to where he had indeed broken his leg three years earlier. Theo and Beckett biked all over parking lots, showing Grandma Joanie and Grandpa Stu their new skills. After lunch Beckett and I enjoyed a lovely nap together in my bed, which was just perfect, and then after a lot of high-action fishing off the dock, the boys and I swam in the lake quite a ways down the shore, which made my heart burst with love and gratitude. We wanted to take a boat ride in the Chriscraft but couldn't get it to start so we took an equally wonderful ride in the fishing boat.

In the fishing boat. Beckett was taking in every moment of the boat ride, gazing out over all of us and everything in front of him, and enjoying every bit of it.

Tuesday afternoon Reed and I had some time blueberry picking (though he slept for most of it). Then he woke up and double fisted from both my pails.
