Pure Joy

Tim left for his cousin's wedding in San Diego tonight, so I was on my own for dinner with the girls. Genevieve had Minnie Mouse at the table (she is never without a friend next to her) and I was holding Eleanor. Genevieve was having Minnie reinact a song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Eleanor let out the biggest belly laugh I have ever heard. When Genevieve heard her laugh, she started singing louder, even more animated, which made Eleanor laugh even harder. I started cracking up, which made Genevieve laugh, which in turn made Eleanor squeal. It was one of those rare perfect moments in life (except, of course, that Tim wasn't there to share it with us.) Sorry that I don't have a picture - I considered looking around for my camera to capture the giggles, but decided instead to just embrace the moment.

That story was precious. It brought a tear to my eyes. I have shared this kind of laugh with all of you sisters.
