This...

And more of it.

I sat in my rocking chair and just watched them.  I didn't read.  I didn't surf the net.  I didn't talk on the phone.  I didn't think about how dinner needed to be prepared.  I didn't think about the piles of dog hair needing vacuuming.

I sat and listened to their laughs.  Listened to the competitions that they made up.  Listened to them be friends.  And my heart was full.

I am so ready to watch those bonds of brotherhood strengthen during our summer together.  Let the games begin.
