Our grandson Hudson is three, and in honor of his birthday we got to Skype with him last night.

His cousin Hayes was there. A three-word update: he’s perfectly fine. And adorable. And kept coming up and looking right into the camera with a face that said, Wait. Those aren’t MY grandparents! I’ve seen these people before, what are they doing in that iPad?

Hudson was goofy and giggly and happy and suddenly grabbed that big one off the couch–pillow fight!

At us. Incoming! We ducked on our end (making sure to stay in camera view.) Hudson laughed that joyful laugh that little ones live for. Here it comes! We held up our hands in front of our faces with fingers stretched wide and ducked again. And again and again until it was time for dessert there at the other grandparents’ and it was time for them to go, all of us about falling on the floor laughing.

Best. Pillow. Fight. Ever!
