October 4

We were sitting around the family room eating dinner not long ago when I abruptly clued in to an unusual conversation the kids were having. Actually, it was less a conversation and more Abby trying to name NFL teams as the boys yea'd or nay'd her guesses.

What made it unusual is that Abby knows virtually nothing about sports. And I mean nada.

I have no idea how it got started, but they were having a genuinely good time playing their little game. And I genuinely enjoyed listening to them for a few minutes before the boys went off to bed for the night. They don't always get along, so when they do, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
