Thanks to serious traffic on the freeway, Adam got home much later than anticipated this evening, but we kept our plan to go out to dinner anyway. When we got back, the boys were already in bed and Abby was on the couch doing homework.

Tired from his long day, Adam tried to head upstairs, but Abby convinced him to hang out for a little while first. And hilarity ensued when he plunked down next to her and rattled off a string of random comments in the BearBear voice while she tried to study.

I love watching them interact, even when --and in some cases, especially when-- those interactions are of the silly sort. Life is difficult and overwhelming in many ways, so I treasure the lighter moments when they come along, especially when they feature the people I love the most.
