Sometimes Finn is sly enough to sneak his nie-night into Target. When you’re the baby, you get away with a lot. It’s a sad day when Finn’s beloved stuffed animal has to be washed. He stands on a stool next to the washing machine and watches it spin. I took…
When you’re six, your birthday is everything. At six years old, Crew is obsessed with sharks and dogs and his mama. A few days after Crew’s actual birthday, we had 20 five to seven year olds over for a shark-themed birthday party. We split the kids into groups and rotated…
Last fall, one of my friends reached out to see if I’d want to run a Ragnar relay race with a group of twelve girls. For some crazy reason, I said yes. I’m not a runner. I don’t even like running. But it felt like a good goal to work…

The Fun Run is always a highly anticipated event. The school revs the students up all week with cheers, class colors and fundraiser competitions. Crew was so excited to officially join the lineup after cheering his brothers on for so many years. Blake and Nash both ended up on the…
We kicked off August with Junior Lifeguards. This time, the little brothers joined the daycamp lineup. The camp is a vigorous mix of ocean safety and swimming skills. The rotations switch each day and they find out immediately when they arrive each morning if the dreaded “swim-run-swim” is on the…
