For No Special Reason

I just love impromptu late night family photo shoots. Mom and Dad had watched the boys while I was playing tennis tonight so that Bryant could work late. When we finished tennis, I called B's phone and learned that they were all just sitting down to dinner. While I would have loved to have 30 or 45 minutes in my house alone, I remembered that the double jogger was down there and it wouldn't fit into B's car. I'm so glad I went over there. Dinner was just delicious - sauteed tilapia, spinach, and vidalia onion casserole (to die for!). We got home late because the rain stifled any thoughts of loading boys and gear, and since Bennett had had a power nap at the grandparents', he wasn't quite ready to go right back down when we finally did get home. Bryant got on the floor and played with both boys, and I immediately ran and grabbed the camera. Bennett is often already in bed when Bryant gets home, so this was a really special time. I just love these pictures.One of Bennett's favorite things is a ball attached to this rope. Probably not the safest toy, but he never plays with it unless we're around, and the delight it brings is worth it.He has recently been all about Daddy. I definitely play second fiddle when the Daddy's around.No one is safe when both boys attack! Bennett is really beginning to be able to join in the fun. Thankfully, Reeves doesn't seem to mind too much.Luckily, Daddy survived the attack just fine and was able to regain control.It doesn't get much better than this. All the mommy frustrations just melt away at times like these.
