My preference would be to have the whole family together –
all five of us doing all things as a unit, like those families in a picture
frame.
That’s what I want, but what happens with two, three, or four is actually better fit for a frame – not just in what was captured, but in what was, period.
Matt and Ez were out yesterday, and the remainder of us + the dogs went to the woods. It was clear, sunny, and cold that got colder as the sun went down. We had an hour – a decent amount of time when you make the most of it. They started at a run.
We ended at the creek, like always. I turned to see Tommy peeing in it, pleased as anything. This prompted Jess to do the same (but behind a tree – he’s slightly more modest). Then, they started breaking icicles and throwing them into the water. I think they thought the icicles were spears, and if the icicles were “spears” that made Jess and T … Warriors? Hunters? Wizards?
I’m happy to watch whatever they are.
