Parenting a Teenager

I had lunch with my wonderful parents yesterday.

I apologized for my teen years, and mused that in another ten years I'd probably be apologizing for my twenties as well.

Magic

It was one of those magical moments the other night. I happened to look out the window and see one deer lying down in the backyard, with another standing next to it. It was during the magic hour - that time in the early evening when the light is just gorgeous. Deer are so serene and beautiful anyway and the light just made them seem even more ethereal.

I called to Carter and Mark to come and see. They arrived just in time to see the deer who was lying down stand up, turn its back to us and take a huge, lengthy, runny poop.

Magical, I tell you.
