June 20

It was Take Your Kid to Work Day at Adam's office, so he, Abby and Isaac were off to Intel early this morning. That left Brady and I to have a just-us day, which we kicked off at Starbucks with Taylor. I hadn't seen her since January (which I cannot explain since she doesn't live that far away), so it was really, really nice to have some face-to-face time.

After a quick stop at home, my little Muffin and I headed over to Black Bear Diner for lunch (his pick), and then to Walmart and Target. (Which were, again, his picks.) And then after some video game time (and a nap for me) this afternoon, we headed out for an early evening walk around the neighborhood.

It was, all in all, a really pleasant day. I tried to slow down and really absorb the funny things Brady said --like how he replied "indeed" to a remark I made while we walked through the aisles at Target, which was hilarious since it's exactly what Adam says all the time-- and the minute details of his mannerisms and how he asked --with genuine curiosity in his voice-- why the wind is so loud when it passes by his ears. I don't get a lot of alone-time with him these days, so it was a blessing to have him all to myself.
