Isaac has always been a big hugger.

So I wasn't surprised when, after story time out on the deck with Adam and Brady, he came inside and wrapped me up in a huge and decidedly extended embrace. It was so long, in fact, that I don't think he even noticed when I reached into my back pocket and pulled out my phone to snap this memento.

I love that this baseball-playing, dog-loving 14-year old of mine loves to hug. Open displays of affection  are sweet blessings.
