Whole family

Over the last six months or so, Will has really been into having the "whole family" in the same place at the same time. We teach your kids early on who their family is... Mama, Daddy, Grammy, Pappy and so on, but when they're little, they don't really get what that word family means. Over the last 6-9 months or so, Will has really started to understand and get what it means to have the whole family together. In the mornings he wakes up and asks where Daddy and the Dublin are (he already knows where I am, I'm the one getting him up!). If I tell him Daddy is at work, he's sad and wants to know when he's coming home, if it's the weekend, he runs into our room, jumps into bed and demands "whole family" snuggles. Recently, when Aaron gets home from work, he's started asking for a whole family hug. He likes eating dinner with us and proudly turns the tv off when we announce that dinner is ready and tells us that dinner time is our time to "hang out" together. I love that we're a family that spends time together, eats together, talks, snuggles, and plays together. And I love even more that Will is learning and understanding what it means to be family. While we were all getting ready for the Superbowl party this past weekend I was able to capture some pictures of us just hanging out, playing, and being a family.
