This is why people have kids!


Hale had so much fun on Thanksgiving with his cousins. I mean, unbelievable amounts of fun. Here he is hanging on Zach, learning about video games.

Watching Hale brought back that feeling of being a kid — that particular, super kind of fun—the kind you have with your cousins during holidays, when adults aren't really paying all that much attention to you. They are busy with gravy and wine and family gossip and you are running between their legs and over couches and experiencing a secret world under the dining room table.

There is this feeling of craziness and anticipation in the air—the build up to the meal. And then before you know it, you are being carried from the car to bed.

I love carrying Hale from car to bed. On Thanksgiving night, Scott and I felt his tired, happy weight in our arms and were thankful for all the family we have to share him with. What joy!
