This Is Love

We had a church picnic on Sunday.

There was face painting.

Balloon animals.
And food.

And then there were old fashioned games like

the three legged race.

Trey and I got in line to be a pair.

I figured if it came down to it, I could just pick him up and run.

About 2 seconds before the "GO", I felt a tug on my pants.

There stands Micah, with forlorn eyes, holding a tie.

I scanned the crowd for a likely partner.

Husband, sisters, brothers, anyone?

We are under 5 seconds now.

Nobody available, nada.

So I did what any self-respecting mother would do...
I simply tied him to the other leg.

We invented the four legged race.

I am here to tell you it can be done.

And we weren't dead last.

Almost.

But not quite.

This is pure love.
