Coming Home
I arrived home today after being in Detroit for eight days. After giving me hugs and kisses my four year old daughter said, “We weren’t a family without you.”
Kids.
People pay more attention to you when they think you’re up to something.
It’s incredibly uncanny how these little kids come up with conversation that you’d only expect from an adult. I had an adult conversation with Vanessa earlier in the week when I told her that we’d be moving to Fredericton this summer. I expected to just tell her, walk away, and be done with it. The questions she asked were very moving & real; I was truly amazed that they were coming from a five year-old.
We have a Greyhound dog. When Greyhounds race, they chase a rabbit on the track. Tonight, Vanessa was scared because Cutter was going to chase the Easter Bunny when he came to drop off chocolate for her. I couldn’t resist but to laugh. The things these kids come up with!!
