Happy 8th birthday Vincent. You have the world in the palm of your hand with your compassionate heart, brilliant mind, quick wit and athletic super powers. You are fire and ice and everything nice. I love you, whole heart, and am so honored to be your Mommy!


Happy 2nd Birthday, Leo! You came into the world on your own time, slowly and then all at once. This cadence has set the rhythm for how you tackle every milestone and every adventure. You bring unconditional love, warmth and tenderness to those you love, have the very best dinosaur roar, idolize your big brothers, remain fascinated with Adeline, and want to be a worker guy like Daddy. And when you yell for Mama...well, I’ll always come running. Love you, whole heart, our sweet and tender, wild one! 

Happy 11th birthday, amazing Jack. It was a day full of baseball and basketball, just as you like it, and you were a rock star in both, as always. Your gift of remaining humble, thoughtful, ambitious, spectacular and brilliantly kind hearted, to Everyone and in Everything continues to leave us speechless ❤️Keep forging the way as first born, as only you can, showing us all how to love whole heartedly and be ALL IN in everything we do. Always in awe of you my sweet boy ❤️ 11 years since you doubled my heart and showed me the power of unconditional motherly love.
Dear Adeline, my beautiful, sweet girl. You are 1 today. From the beginning of you, you've been our surprise, leaving us awestruck and grateful. You were adamant and bold in your entry to the world, and determined in every emotion you've shown ever since in this relentlessly fast year. You are Lovely. Spectacular. Bonded. Magical. Graceful. Stunning. You are adored by your brotherly super heroes, delighted by music, full of laughter, fiercely skeptical of the unfamiliar and soothed by closeness. You sleep in Daddy's arms, spark conversation in mine and bring light to every room. I carried you with me in heart and mind for so long, and remain awestruck by the power of your presence in our family, and on my heart. I always will be. Continue to forge your bold path, my beautiful girl. We are all here by your side, ridiculously loving you, as we watch you grow. My whole heart, Mommy
