C and K live there with their 3-year-old son and 3-and-a-half-month-old twins, and I tell ya, you walk in and the atmosphere just brims with love.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, C and K have one of those relationships that, were they to break up, you would doubt your whole existence. That&#8217;s how perfect they are for each other. Each is affectionate and kind to the other. C clearly thinks K is the funniest person on the planet (arguably true). K was just mentioning how ridiculously supportive C is, that C would support her getting a forehead tattoo, if that&#8217;s what K wanted. The other day, all three kids were down for a nap, so they went out in the front yard, in the rain, and played whiffle ball together.<\/p>\n<p>And their kids! I told a friend of mine recently that their 3-year-old is one of my favorite people. Not one of my favorite <em>kids<\/em>, one of my favorite <em>people<\/em>. He&#8217;s just a ball o&#8217; energetic sweetness, and he repeats every question you ask in statement form. Me: &#8220;Do you want to sit up here next to me and snuggle on the couch?&#8221; Him: &#8220;I want to sit up here next to you and snuggle on the couch.&#8221; And he asks about me when I&#8217;m not around. I&#8217;m smitten.<\/p>\n<p>So are C and K. They love their son and their twins so much. And they are just wonderful parents.<\/p>\n<p>Remind me again why they&#8217;re not married? Oh, right, because our government says that, because they&#8217;re both female, they&#8217;re not allowed to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, since I was in the neighborhood, I stopped by my friends&#8217; new house.
