March 4

This afternoon we headed north to pay a visit to Adam's brother's family. And of course, to meet our new little niece Melody. Here we are:

It was almost like going back in time when we walked into Eric and Emily's house, since --as we once did, 10 years ago-- they have a three-year old, a one-year old, and a newborn. The kids have more or less taken over the house, and they're tired. And we totally, absolutely understand the feeling.

But chaos and tiredness aside, they seem happy, just like we were. And that's a huge blessing.
