Our Lucky Fire Engine Kind of Day . . .







And God knows we needed one. Maybe it was providence and not luck, but I'm so happy Reed got to have today and that I got some surprisingly good pictures of him and the fire engine -- love that he had his bright red T-shirt on as well.

Here are the pictures -- basically, we happened to be looking at it in the parking lot, taking pictures, and three firefighters came out at exactly the right moment. And we did a lot of driving around today to look for construction vehicles in particular, finding at least three front loaders, a crane, and two excavators -- there isn't anything he loves more, so driving around looking for and at trucks has become a somewhat regular enterprise. I never would have imagined I would know so much about trucks and machinery in general, much less that a three-year-old can retain so much about them. I find that I love that he's so passionate about this -- even to the point of obsession-- perhaps it reminds me of myself. And the bright smiles don't hurt, either.
