August 16

I love fun little routines, like my Wednesday morning trips to the Mother Ship with Brady.

And in fact, we had our first Starbucks run of the new school year today. While I had my usual blonde roast coffee, Brady enjoyed a chocolate cake pop.

But he didn't eat it right away; he held it in his hand for a few minutes. And then I noticed he was looking at me expectantly. And finally it dawned on me: he was waiting to take our usual photo.

And so we did. And I am grateful that he remembered.
