This year, we were blessed to be able to spend the 4th in Santa Cruz with my parents and the Mulligans. One of my favorite moments of the trips was going on a long bike ride with Brett down West Cliff Drive. With Brett beginning first grade this year, I cherish every moment I have with him alone. Brett is my one son who is always ready to take a walk or go for a bike ride. He asks to go for a walk almost every night after dinner and anytime he finds out I am going for a run (which is not very often), he runs to grab his helmet. I mus
t admit, I don't always jump for joy when he wants to go with me on a run because he does not shut up for the entire two miles and because I don't run often enough, I do not have the stamina to talk and run at the same time. Those thoughts disappear quickly enough when I realize that I only have a limited amount of time before he is not going to want to go with me anymore, so I have suck it up and I do not always make it as far as I want.
