Happy birthday to my sweet and spicy, kitten and math loving boy. I hope 7 is your best year yet! #thisisseven #valentinebirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/CaAh3KjvfFn/?utm_medium=tumblr

And it’s done! These two did great for their second shots. So grateful to have them vaccinated! #thisissix #thisisten #vaccinated (at Beautiful West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWzUbOSlP_t/?utm_medium=tumblr

So, so relieved today. Feeling thankful for scientists, and proud of these boys for being brave. #covidvacccine (at Beautiful West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV8omOOhv1N/?utm_medium=tumblr

First day of 1st and 5th grade, and Cal’s first experience of full time school! Can’t believe it’s really happening, and how big these two look all of a sudden! (at Beautiful West Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSwDRoh3Ws/?utm_medium=tumblr

New Mexico, you sure are pretty! So happy to have spent the last few days here with @susanallen455 and @deyareece . Getting to be together after almost two years apart has been magical! (at Santa Fe, Historic Old Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTNpZhCFNiT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Chelan is pretty nice guys. Also, cousins are the most fun! (at Chelan, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSQgVj_raTv/?utm_medium=tumblr

My parents left tonight after the most highly anticipated visit ever. It has been almost two years since we have been together, and we have missed them so much! We had the loveliest time together, revisiting old haunts, talking late into the night, and discovering new spots. I’m so happy we get to see them again in a couple of months, it’s the only thing that makes the parting bearable! (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRk2WqbN4AR/?utm_medium=tumblr

This year has been a doozy. At times it felt endless, and I’m so happy we made it through. We absolutely wouldn’t have without their amazing teachers and fantastic school. I am so grateful for our community! So long 4th grade and kindergarten! #thisisten #thisissix (at Fairmount Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQSlp-4tu11/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beautiful day to head east! Snoqualmie Falls never disappoints. (at Snoqualmie Falls, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPweVGzNo6b/?utm_medium=tumblr

So nice to get to hang with the cousins today! Silas and Cal had the best time, and can’t wait to hang out regularly again! (at Kirkland, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPfHrVmN37g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Adventures on the Gnome Trail today! It was fun to get out to an area I’d never been, and the forest and river were so pretty! No filter, it really was that green. Thank you @traci_lynn_ for the directional help, it was key in getting us to the right spot! (at Maple Valley, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPPc_3tN00R/?utm_medium=tumblr

This month Silas: 1. Started back to school in person 🎉 2. Turned 10 🎉🎉 3. Played in his first and second lacrosse games. I’ve been impressed with how hard he’s working. It’s really fun to see him getting into it! 🥍 Thanks for the pics @miketown #thisisten #lacrosse https://www.instagram.com/p/COEhxoCgXI_/?igshid=1n0gcuw4xdd3e

First day of in person school in over a year! Actually getting to go into the school building and do kindergarten and 4th grade, even if it’s less than 3 hours a day, is so exciting for these guys, and for me! #thisisnine #thisissix #firstdayofschool (at Fairmount Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTIy8jBcfN/?igshid=4be6hgn8uekb

These three (plus two more friends not pictured) had their first lacrosse practice tonight. I have to say I was really impressed at how well they did for a bunch of boys who’d never even picked up a lacrosse stick a month ago! #lacrosse #swtitans #thisisnine https://www.instagram.com/p/CMjBVnZhBR1/?igshid=sc032juu6m9
