Green Bean Juice

Asher, after dinner tonight, holding a straw: "Can I please have a drink of the green bean juice?" We let him. Afterward, he said it was delightful and warm.

My Hy turned 10 today. Wow. A whole decade. I feel old thinking about it, but it feels right.

...and awesome...

Me: Maybe so.
