Brotherly Love

Since all of our kids take Mandarin—and Ryan and I don’t know a word—we’re not much help when it comes to homework. This week, Camp was having a tough time with an assignment and Milo stepped right in to help. Watching him patiently guide and reassure his brother was such a sweet moment. As a parent, nothing compares to seeing your kids lift each other up.

Maeli is 15

Our baby is 15!! Her current obsessions: friends, fun drinks (Alani, Starbucks, soda on tap), and dancing — in that order. If she’s not with friends, she’s probably blasting music and doing her nails for the third time this week.

Maeli is thoughtful, full of creativity, and has a gift for turning everyday moments into a party. She’s confident, well-spoken, and when she’s committed to something, she goes all in.

Happy birthday baby girl - we love you!

Milo is 13

This guy is officially 13!

Milo has a gift for spotting and catching just about any creature that crosses his path. Whether it’s a lizard, frog, or snake, if it moves—he’ll catch it. 

He’s also a devoted Mariners fan and loves nothing more than watching a game with his dad and brothers or playing outfield in his own little league games. 

Milo brings a unique energy to our home—he's confident, polite, and endlessly thoughtful. He’s got true big brother energy—roughhousing with his brothers one minute, and being incredibly kind and caring the next.

We love this guy and all the joy he brings into our lives. Happy birthday Milo-man!
