September 12

I predicted that there would be much less overt wrestling at our house when Isaac went off to college, and I was right.

But what I did not necessarily predict was that Abby and Brady would devise new and creative ways to harass one another. They don't wrestle, per se, because Brady would have a clear advantage. But their verbal repartee is top-notch and they routinely chase each other around the house, striking some of the oddest poses along the way (like this one. They were NOT practicing an aisle-stroll, even though it looks like they were).

It's definitely quieter around here these days, but these two manage to keep things lively. And for their youthful spirit, I am grateful.
