Conclusion: Disney is an interesting place. Sloane, the tall and fearless kindergartener, went in every single ride possible that goes upside down and sideways. Ryker refused to leave Star Wars. My nervous system went numb somewhere in Anaheim. B hit the gym with Mickey Mouse. Success!? (at Disneyland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq_lr7Gvm8YYHM1WtAIrABmVUYKqogD2dcu7ik0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our team studied the mental health of 69 couples over 23 years. Turns out depression is contagious between partners and that women in particular need to put on their oxygen mask first before helping others ❤️ Check out our newly dropped findings in Contemporary Family Therapy. #science2practice #womenshealth https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10591-023-09664-x (at Stanford University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZIRovv8sCYo8UhIB7bJbW3HivA58Uv5F2spw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 9th birthday (a day late) Ryker James! The only way we get this kid to smile for the camera is if he’s about to sneeze 🤧 😆 💗 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpF_qVKpR4qLxV4DGxYrRqqDAHfAcbyCBxAjuM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Winter break: Sloaney learned to shred ⛷️ solo, Ryker got punked with trick candles, and parents navigated a monster Tahoe blizzard to get home ✅ https://www.instagram.com/p/Co_AxTQPXKsA5X_OYVn0kPxMo1kQE5uvOLCW7Y0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just another Jerry. Happy birthday Wes you old man! (at Park City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoOK1aHtE-J-f_yQf5idoBZvZ-B7Kh5o_I2MGk0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did your world recently get turned upside down? Come shed that lay-off shitty feeling with others going through the same thing. I’ll be facilitating a virtual drop-in peer support group on Wednesday Feb 8th @ 12:05pm PST https://pace.group/pop-up/session/3c85b023-237a-495a-9089-bee9901db854?code=2023gift https://www.instagram.com/p/CoGEKOeSq4EPar1Y1h0nQcXT3jPNfr6gJuXhCc0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Operation surprise: caught a redeye, hid behind a bush, disguised in wigs, rang the doorbell = priceless confused and ugly cry of pure joy. Love you to the moon @juliebhanlon happy birthday!!!

When it snows 30+ inches in one day (!!), slopes are closed for avalanche mitigation, and the children have gone feral: build a snow bar, employ minors as bartenders, and enjoy the scenery/whiteout 😆 (at Kirkwood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2X0KuvmYhB0NfTIsST76qK3lvRwNc1GhVX680/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Christmas 2022: oyster stew for breakfast, latkes, Sloane can eat candy canes with her toes, Ryker disappeared bc he scored a Nintendo switch, cousins, bubbles, chaos, meltdowns, friends, love - and now a monster nap. Shoutouts to all the parents out there that make the magic happen. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmpX5wryVnnJwy8SwD8T_bftYKxhfHoJ3xf9yM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mimi can’t travel these days so Ryker and I “popped over” for a 48-hour crash Christmas visit. Aunt Bean dressed us in matching gold chains, fur capped robes, fuzzy slippers, and dashing shades to make it legit 😆 🎄 💫 (at Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcC29VpH2wYa9vM0dMo6qRGWjjbY_Oul4ftco0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ryker was hiding his life savings in the Christmas tree and Sloane kept finding it. Here’s to hoping that Bank of America accounts can fix this squirrel squabble. Sloane banks in her pajamas and does not smile in business meetings. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmXIph9P0qVRtaEQpAp5AteyZr8_jXjyZheBac0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I took daddy Heinz to his first ever spin class - he might be dead 💀 😆 @mindbodywine https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPYZnIPP_8uuGYLf5g6p_Rg5GFdZQzbXK8bCA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
