Driving boys up into the hills yesterday so they could mountain bike home, the world seemed to glow and frolic.
They took off at lightening speed like homing pigeons - but not before calling out over their shoulder ... "You're the coolest mom there is! Who else would strap a bike rack to the car and drive us out here?"
And all became very quiet and holy inside me - their words are the reverence of a lifetime. Ah! To be the coolest mom in the eyes of teenage boys! :)

You are the coolest Mom. That is a beautiful set of words to be graced with. Sometimes at this age our children leave us for a bit.If you aren't busy today, could you drop me off on the river?
Try to remember this day when they are crabbing at you for making them do their homework. ;)
It delightfully balances out the burning bits of paper flying out the window last year, does it not?
WooHoo! Nothing better then being the coolest mom :) Looks like such a beautiful place to ride!
I think you just won the mom game! Everything is so pretty and green. I can smell the fresh air now.
Sweet victory is yours!!! :)
You are a pretty cool mom! Ponder on those words...they are to be treasured! Carla
Awww...saaaaaweeeeeeet!
You gotta love that!:))
Love those shots. I feel like I could be looking out the window at my house.
What mom wouldn't love that title! I hope your day was beyond wonderful.
"Coolest mom" j'y ai eu droit hier en prenant le petit chemin du McDrive et en commandant deux portions de frites bien chaudes, croustillantes à l'extérieur et moelleuses à l'intérieur. Mmh!
That, my friend is a special seed that you planted in him by being the loving mother that you are!
We reap what we sow :)

What a compliment. You don't hear that everyday. They will remember you did that for them the rest of their lives.
