“Can we go up to the swing?” you & Jack asked during halftime at Emma’s soccer game in Dover.

Sure, I said, I’ll go with you guys.

Off we went, across the grass, up the big hill, into the woods overlooking the soccer fields below.

When the half ended, I went back down, but the two of you stayed, building a lean-to against the big pine tree, stacking sticks, making designs in the pine needle floor. This was the first time I could remember the combination of Ainsley + Jack playing together for a concentrated period of time.  Very cool!
