I just wrote my friend Nick and email (and am working on one for Zak) and I figured I would just kind of relax a bit and put in an entry.

 

Spent the Super Bowl with a few of my college friends and their families.  I haven’t actually written that kind of sentence, but it works--all of my college friends down here, the ones in my class, have a kid. It was cool, it was really fun to see them.  I am constantly an amazed by my buddies who have been able to absorb the physical impact that these new lives are making on them, their exhausted grins and distracted glances they throw about.  It’s quite incredible.

 

We get the question a lot, of course, the one about time and kids and when and why not yet and will we and what are we waiting for and all that.  We love getting those questions because we never ask them to each other, we never actually talk about it, I don’t even know what they are talking about because I am so busy running around from party to party.  (Obviously kidding.)  

 

Truth is, we have to wait anyway for a few reasons and until stuff gets resolved, the whole thing is moot.  Truth is, we are not sure one way or the other.  Truth is, while I have thought about kids, it has never been a guiding priority in my life.  Should we do it, we will rock it, it will be awesome.  But right now? Not in the cards, universe, no matter how many random people ask us, no matter how many people warn us, more matter how many people tell us what we are missing out on.  

 

But it was cool to see Abby and Audrey and Ruby...Abby’s the oldest of the three girls and it’s great to actually talk to this little person whom, not too long ago, had just arrived into the world a few days earlier, bundled up in my arms, wondering who this smelly guy was and why her parents were letting him hold her.

 

We saw Noah and Deidre and they are living week three with Emma, figuring it out and enjoying this new life.  So awesome!

 

It’s funny trying to followup anything after talking with or discussing new parents. Everything else seems trivial, you know?
