Both Isaac and Brady had practice at the Sports Park tonight. Since Isaac's started half an hour earlier, we were a bit early to Brady's field, but his coach is usually early so it was no big deal.

In fact, when I turned around at one point, I spied Brady (in the black shirt on the right) and two of his teammates joining forces to haul a particularly large equipment bag toward the diamond.

Now it's true that the process probably would've been much less arduous had they realized that the bag had wheels, but the moment also wouldn't have been as sweet because there's something precious about seeing kiddos work together to achieve a common goal. Given that COVID took away many of those opportunities for a long while, I'm grateful to get 'em when I can.

Anyway, it was a lovely reminder that we do indeed need one another to navigate this life.
