Grandpa Holligan and Alistair James



I love this picture!


Alistair loves to go to Mimi and Poppi's house. If he's crying in the car on the way, his tense and screaming little body relaxes as we come through their front door. He smells the cool sweetness of their foyer and he knows he is at that good place where his every whim is catered to and he gets lots of loving. Not that he doesn't get it at home but the relationship between an grandparent and a grandchild is so special, so pure, so uninterrupted by obligation. And Greg and I are so lucky to be able to have a mommy & daddy night once in awhile. These days that's priceless.
