I have been thinking about Daddy quite a bit. And missing Mother, too. They would have taken so much pleasure in seeing Leah's and Brent's baby, Reed, and how well Rachel and Stephen are doing. Amanda, John, and their family, along with Jesse, and Brooke, with her little one in the making, were all just here. They would have so enjoyed that family gathering.
Just recently I stepped out into a crosswalk, insisting that a car stop so Leah and Reed could cross a busy street. That behavior is so ET, as some of you may recognize. He felt he was invincible--sometimes to our great frustration when it came to his safety. (I, however, was not at risk!)
