nice

it's been such a nice weekend. some beloved friends who moved away a year ago were back in town for a few days and we had them over for dinner, rapidly picking up old traditions of ordering our favorite take out and a few bottles of red but this time their son, their adorable son whose birth i was honored to witness is closer to two now, he and M got along famously, the adults reconnecting as well. it made me miss them all the more but it was so lovely having them here for one night.

then yesterday we went to a birthday party for M, a party held by cool yet somewhat unknown parents a bit of a distance from here. we spent longer than we thought we would connecting with parents whose kids are in class with M, something i've never been good at and yet at the same time it was really quite lovely. we all napped when we came home, later than usual for M but lazy and good.

then this afternoon we'll make a little trip to the library, one of our new favorite places where we will all pick a few books and come home and read. i am reminded again of how lucky i am, how blessed i am to have this family, this very good man and this adorable child lighting the way.
