February 4

Abby and Adam had their dance class tonight (yep, you read that right), so after they left, I went upstairs to change into my pajamas. When I came back downstairs a few minutes later, I found these two sitting on the couch together.

It's not unusual for them to sit together, and of late, it's not unusual to find Isaac reading to Brady. But as I watched them, I noticed how they paused to laugh over each new wrinkle in the story.

I've said it many times over but I don't really mind repeating myself yet again: I love how they love each other. They may fight like crazed geese (go ahead and laugh but geese are mean) sometimes, but they're also best friends. And that is a huge blessing for them -- and for me.
