To three teeth for Ezra (wouldn't be surprised if the fourth comes in before the end of the month), to time with cousins (near and far), to our first ever Camp Chaverim at TBI run by yours truly, to birthdays and lots of time with Grandma and Grandpas, to fun adventures up I-5 (including the Enchanted Forest) and at the coast, to swimming and drawing (for Noah).
I can't begin to recap it all. There have been so many precious moments that I have meant to write down at the end of the night, but I just haven't had the time to even send a quick email with the day's memorable events. It has been pretty much nonstop since the beginning of august between Avi's birthday party and having Colin here for a week, running up to Seattle and back and the camp at TBI and the family reunion for Great-Papa's birthday.
One favorite moment though was when I was asking Noah about his reflections on the camp. I was asking him if he made new friends or deepened friendships. He mentioned one girl at camp that we have know for a long time, but they haven't spent a lot of time together. He clearly got emotional about his growing friendship with her and said he really liked her a lot but wouldn't want her to know that. I said there's nothing wrong with him enjoying a girl as a friend and there's no reason he couldn't say something to a friend like, "Hey T---, I had fun bring at camp with you!" He didn't seem convinced that it was possible to communicate with her like that. I asked what in particular he enjoyed about her and he responded by saying (very straight-facedly) that he didn't "have words to describe" how he feels about her. Too sweet. May I be so blessed to have him share like that with me in the future and to have him so verklempt about a girl when it matters later on.
