A couple of nights ago, Matt and I were getting ready for bed. I was reading and Matt was checking his iPhone when suddenly, Matt started giggling. Quickly, the giggling turned in to a full out belly laugh and next the laughter became uncontrollable hysteria. I can't remember the last time (or any time) I heard Matt laugh like that.
At first I wrote it off because I knew that Matt was looking at "the chive" which is a website with all kinds of silly photos that random people post. At his persistence, I looked at the apparently hilarious photo...
It took me a minute, but I laughed, and man, I laughed hard. It was one of those rare moments when I realized how the last 8 months had really changed us and how our perception of hilarity had shifted. If we had seen this picture 8 months ago, we may have missed the joke, or not even found it funny. Perhaps we would have even been mildly offended...
So yes, we have changed. We think poo is funny. We have a hard time carrying on a conversation that doesn't revolve around Hayden. We are probably pretty boring to our old friends. But as "they" say, change is good-change is really, really good!


Even though this is not us in the photo, it easily could be. It's amazing what you don't realize when you are staring at your precious child.
