This weekend, Al & Lori came over with their boy — stayed over on Sunday night with us before heading back home to Philly. We had a great time with them — played at home, walked to the Fire Station (pictures of them sitting in the fire truck to follow), played at the park — a lot of playing, basically. Both boys were so good natured & happy that I just had an incredibly good time with our families. Everywhere you looked, there was a little boy running around & smiling. Pretty great.
[we've been watching The Wire on HBO for a while lately -- this season is all about high school kids, which the older youths call "their shorties". as a result, i've been calling Sam "my shorty" a lot lately. cracks me up.]
