Milestones

Tonight marked a milestone for our family. We made it through dinner, all sitting at the table (no one asking to be excused before everyone was finished), having lovely conversation (topics led by Henry), talking.

We sat at the table for about 10 minutes after we were done eating, laughing and listening to each other. Like the roll of credits from an 80s TV show.

It was a moment in our lives that I will keep with me, a real first. Our boys are growing up.

And then they do this.

Henry : I'm going to explore Africa, Asia, and Portland. Harold : ptschooom!
