Andy's sweetness:

Today Andy wanted to pick up some raspberry mochas as a *very* special treat. So we went to Starbucks after the library and the two little ones split a small raspberry mocha in two kiddie cups. Well, dear little Lucy drank about 5 sips and then dropped it in the parking garage. Andy promptly gave her his. Wow. Wow. He is such a sweetheart. I was floored by his generosity.

He also spent a lot of time hugging Noah today and telling him how much he loved him.

I love that little boy so much. When we were in Florida he picked out a stuffed owl Hedwig from Olivander's in Diagon Alley (at Universal Studios Wizarding World of Harry Potter). It's pretty neat and soft and fluffy and makes Hedwig screeches. It's just so great to still enjoy these years.

8 years old is actually are really fun age. I highly recommend it.
