The Big 12

12 year olds don’t get much better than this one right here! Maeli loves sweets, shopping, and watching chick flicks. She dreams of marrying Tom Holland & insists on saying goodbye to her hamster every morning before running out the door. She is sweet, thoughtful, & is pretty much already better than me at most things.

Maeli has been begging for a phone for years & today her phone dreams finally came true. Happy birthday baby girl! Just don’t grow up anymore, ok?

The End of the Baby Teeth Smiles

Our baby boy lost his first TWO teeth yesterday! Gone are the days of perfect little baby teeth smiles in our family.

Camp came home from school yesterday excited to tell us the news. When we asked how it happened he said “his friend slapped him.” We probed for more info & sure enough, his friend slapped him at recess & his tooth went flying into the sand. I guess if you’re going to lose your first tooth at school, you might as well get a good story out of it!

10 Years Old

Milo is an all-in kind of guy. When he’s into something it becomes his entire world. He loves fishing, can tell you animal facts for hours, & would be a contestant on Alone tomorrow if he could.

He’s recently developed celebrity crushes on Keira Knightley & Maia Mitchell. He’s sweet, sensitive, & keenly aware of the feelings of those around him. We are so thankful for every day we get with this special guy! Happy birthday Milo Man!

Southern Charm

Spent last weekend exploring Charleston, SC. Discovered the many hidden alleys of the city, rowed our way through the gardens where The Notebook was filmed, visited plantations, kayaked through marshes, & ate our fill of southern food. Loved getting to experience that southern charm!
