more siblings

Visit from my brother today. It really is wonderful to be around him when we get a chance (when he gets a chance). Although we are in completely different places in our lives- “I’m thinking of going to Paris to learn tango,” and “Well, I’m thinking about when I should get a toddler bed for Cael!”- we both truly embrace life. It is lovely to share in each other’s zaniness and zeal, wit and wisdom. (And both my children are enamored by his charming girlfriend!)

Cael- asleep in his car seat… I take the cracker from his hand before it falls. A minute later I glance back; he removes his binkie with one hand and brings the other to his mouth to take a bite of the missing cracker. Still sleeping.
