In some ways this anniversary looks different from the last five, mainly because we have been holed up with our kids for the last 6 weeks. In it we’ve spent a lot of time trying not to take credit for Zoe’s personality. And importantly I’ve learned that when tested, we...
At 5 Max is independent, smart, sensitive, funny, cautious, and a joy to be around (most days).
2019 has been a year full of changes. We sold our house and bought a new one, moved to Tennessee, started a new job (Aaron), and enrolled the kids in a new school. But the things I’ll remember the most were the smaller moments: Zoe’s weird obsession with drawing “big...
