little willem continues to simply exude joy. i love so much about him and this particular phase of his life. he is snuggly, chubby, wears his smile often and well, and brings joy to all around him.

feeling grateful:

for my mother coming to care for the boys while we were away

for a safe trip to and from boston

for the comfort of good conversation with good friends

for time spent watching, holding, and talking with the pierce girls

for new sights and sounds

for the joyful baby accompanying me on the trip

for the sight of my children's faces upon returning
