That Family Feeling

My older brother Chris came over this evening. He is finishing up a whirlwind tour of the eastern seaboard: Vermont to Maryland to Virginia to Maine. He stopped by shortly after Bethany and Isaiah returned from the gym.

Contrary to what I was expecting, Isaiah instantly was interacting with Chris. They have met before, but it has been a few months. I figured we would have to patiently wait for Izzy to warm up to his uncle. Instead within a few short minutes he was pointing out Chris' beard, saying his name and even asking to be held in his lap (though that was during dinner and we have a no-lap-at-dinner rule.

The reality and "weight" of our life often strikes me, out of the blue: we have a son. Another human being. With a rapidly developing mind and body. Who is constantly seeking and learning and emoting and trying things out. It is an incredible time and I am very thankful for it.

My neighbor has three daughters; one of them is a doctor focused on healthy living. She has a line of "Healthy Junk Food"
