Joel and Christine were smoochin' it up- ALL THE TIME. One would think that are still in love with each other after all these years and all those chirrens. I tried to take a picture of it to remember, since it was such a dominant feature of our interactions with them, but they couldn't quite keep a straight face. They're so cute.

Then again, maybe Dad Tate is the oldest Tate boy. Joel is still college age in my head, you know.
