January 10

Adam had to work late much of this week, so it's been a long one for both of us. As I sat on the couch watching "Jeopardy!" and eating my KFC this evening, Brady (and BearBear and one of his stuffed penguins) suddenly snuggled in for a cuddle.

He said he was cold, but I think he also wanted some mom-time. And I was happy to give it to him, because I know those moments will become increasingly rare as time continues to pass us by. And those moments are some of life's sweetest, tenderest gifts.
