August 14

Brady and I had our first Wednesday Starbucks date of the school year this morning.

Given that it's our last year of these hangout sessions --when he starts high school next year, the late-start Wednesdays of middle school will be a thing of the past-- I took a moment to reflect on the sweetness of the experience.

He's grown a lot since he was a sixth grader back in 2022. A whole lot, really. And although it's a little sad to see my baby growing up so quickly, it's a blessing. So I am grateful.
