Sure, I should be packing—for the beach or for our big upcoming move—but instead I’m coloring bespoke 10th birthday wrapping paper for my best girl. Hard to believe it’s nearly been a decade. Time is such a thief. #thisis9 (at Petworth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUzfhkD-Pv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eleanor and the other 4th and 5th graders put on a delightful winter concert tonight. It was truly impressive how hard the teachers and students all worked to put on the show. I also appreciated that to attend the concert all adults had to show their vaccine cards and mask up. #thisis9 (at John Eaton Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXhh9SlNNic/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here’s hoping you’re enjoying Black Friday as much as we are in our black buffalo check pajamas. #thisis9 #thankfulandmerry https://www.instagram.com/p/CWw72NLt9Xr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Super proud this morning of Eleanor and Jude for running their first Girls on the Run 5K! Also, super thankful that Brendan and @mrsjdsmar were their running buddies and my only job was cheering. #thisis9 #girlsontherun (at Anacostia Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWi1HydrSUt/?utm_medium=tumblr
