A sweet ritual

After Evelyn's nightly bath, which is typically a "Daddy activity," I scoop her up in a soft towel and we hug tightly for a few moments while she dries off a bit before leaving the warm bathroom. Lately, Evelyn loves to pause and look at the three of us in the mirror. "Family!" she says. "Evie, Mama, Dada. Family!" If that doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what will.
