It gives me comfort as we venture into the unknown with our move to Massachusetts- there is something both beautiful and terrifying about it being "just us." Great photos too...do you guys ever age? WTH;) I love this post….just read it for the 2nd time.

It brought tears to my eyes at multiple points, and I think it needs to be published in another place for more eyes to see it. I think what you're talking about here is what I'm talking about today on my blog: real, genuine connection. When you remove the buffers -- be they other people, emotional artifice, or whatever stands in the way of us being our full "us" -- all you have left are your real, unfiltered selves.

We are the 'anti-socia'l family because we so enjoy each other that it's hard to have others join in. It's a true gift to realize why you married each other to begin with and when you enjoy your kids cuz they are fun....well it doesn't get any better!! Totally connect with what you said!
