September 21

After dinner tonight, Abby, Isaac, and Brady all escaped to the backyard. There was no coordinated effort, but when I took a peek a few minutes later, I found the boys circling the pool and Abby doing laps on the second level by the fire pit.

It's not unusual for Abby to do laps, but 'tis a little stranger for the boys to follow suit. Yet there they were nonetheless.

Anyway, I just watched them for a few seconds. And as I did, I felt a renewed sense of gratitude for their health and for this lovely space that we can call our own.
