  • Cuddling with the kids this morning in bed.
  • Petey coming downstairs and trying to make his own breakfast before I made it down. He does this frequently. The evidence is usually a box of cereal in the floor and a trail of cereal to wherever he’s sitting.
  • Rockford getting home from his work travel a few hours early.
  • Playing T-Rex and Pteranodons with Rockford and the kids.
    • Family matters
