September 17

Isaac is at work tonight so it's been just Adam, Brady, and me chilling at home.

Brady --as I imagine happens with most 14-year olds-- usually finishes dinner and then scurries up to his room until bedtime. 

But not today! Tonight, he retrieved his laptop, settled into a chair, and played a computer game while we all watched a banana ball game on TV.

Given that I realize I'm not cool, it's been a blessing to have him choose to hang out with us, because although he's still 14, I know he'll be 18 before we know it.
