You may not have noticed it.  You may not have felt the Earth shift slightly on its axis.  You may not have noticed our graduation as a family unit.

At 10:21AM this morning, our entire family was enjoying snacks around a small coffee shop table.  All five of us.  Small table.  Stuff on top.  Spillable stuff.

All seemed calm.  So calm that I removed the lid from the top of my cup of coffee.  Nothing.  No spill.  No children running scatterbrained into the table.  No one climbing on chairs.  No youngsters dancing on table tops.  Nothing.  We appeared to be a downright normal properly functioning family unit.

Wow!  I took a sip from my lidless coffee cup.  So this is how we enter the brave new world.  I like it.
