lucas....

my 14 year old son lucas went with me on a park hopping adventure last week.  he brought along his rollerblades and decided to hit the pavement at a little quicker pace than myself.

he is an extreme sport athlete...and this provided a much "tamer" atmosphere for his rollerblade skills.

and less stress for his mother watching....

i asked him to pose a cool trick for me....

this is what he came up with.

i like that he isn't moving ~~~>

safe

unharmed

no injuries

the mother in me.

he's taking a break.

bless his heart for park hopping with me.

not many 14 year old boys would do it.

i love you for it.

but could you turn around so i can show the world how

handsome you are?

aha!  there you are.

i believe his expression was

"you better not be taking my picture mom"

ummm...

no

just your feet ~*~

and then he rollerbladed off into the sunset...

unharmed

safe

and

annoyed.

but thank you lucas

for loving your mother

enough to

spend your evening with me.

because i know you would

rather be doing

this....

your real

extreme

sport...

skateboarding

with your

friends.

dangerous...

but you are completely

adept

and

skilled

and

a natural.

and i am incredibly

proud of you.

love you.

mom

in beauty,
