AJ, Mike and I visited the Rando-Phipps today over by the zoo. We shared a nice eggy breakfast and let AJ explore the house and experience all the new baby proofing they did. It's hard to know what to baby proof without an actual baby to test out your outlet covers, cord keeping, and bathroom cabinets. So that is where AJ came in.
AJ acted as chief tester while Baby G Risolvo just hung out on the carpet or nursed. We talked life changes, parenting decisions, upheaval, joys, and concerns. All the while, AJ attempted to straighten pictures and help D with her knitting.
I was struck by how ready we all are for Diane and Noah to become parents. Of course this journey has consumed them and no one is more ready to welcome a little one than they are...but all of us "observers" who love them can't wait to witness the coolness that a babe will add to Little Brick E! They are already the coolest parents on the block. And the day that a baby makes his/her appearance in their lives will truly be a remarkable and special chapter in their life story. The one you read with the Kleenex close at hand.
