It has been such a joy to watch my delightful friend, Emily, and her husband, Joey, on their parenting journey since well before Theo was born. But it’s a special treat to get to see them in and around their home on a quiet Thursday morning – to see Theo playing with trains, dumping a cup of water on Emily’s lap, running around outside, and taking a family bike ride as they so often do. There were moments of pause to kiss a bumped forehead, tie on a bike helmet, and change out of wet jeans. Just like real life.
