I’m just going to take a second to appreciate this man right here. He is a full time engineer, full time dad, full time spouse and, somehow, is still making the time to produce these face shields for local healthcare workers. ❤️ He’s 3D printing ‘round the clock, staying up late to tweak the design, and coordinating safe delivery to those on the front lines who need them.👏🏻 You know how we’re supposed to “find the helpers” in times of crisis? Well, I found one. For sure. #weareallthehelpers #diyPPE #stayhomestaysafe Thank you @josefprusa for the original design and for all our customers @catholiccurio who are funding this effort ❤️. We have seen an outpouring of generosity that, I think, attests to the deep desire in every human to be a helper. It is an amazing truth to witness.We attempted to reinvigorate a mediocre Christmas break (#Flu boo!) with a last minute trip to Leavenworth. If I had TRIED to capture how it went in a photo I couldn’t have set it up better than this 😂🤣😂 #atleastwetried Maybe they’ll only remember the good parts? #picsthatgetbetterthemoreyoulook #believe #reindeerarescary #turnsout #ineedadrink #oranaward #howaboutboozeINatrophyI almost posted this on Halloween, but those aren’t costumes 😂 The big kids are back enrolled at our local parochial school. There are several reasons we stopped homeschooling, but the most important one is that we know that this option is what’s best for our kids and for our family-for right now. Thank you to all our family and friends and teachers who have so loved us (and especially our kids) in these transitions. And thank YOU for putting up with all these quasi-melodramatic “grand announcement” posts 😂 I just didn’t want anyone to be too surprised by our Christmas card. 🤣😘❤️ #howeveryouschoolisfinebyme #allthefeelings #thoseuniformsthough😍Archives

Mama Salve
“Don’t you have any lotion, my Love?” she takes my hands in hers and rubs a thumb over the cracked and bleeding knuckles. “Put lotion on your hands, Cait. Every day! Every time you wash them.” I brush her off, mumbling … Continue reading

Snow Day!
It’s not every day that we get snow in Portland, and I do laugh a little at how much everyone freaks out. DON’T DRIVE! CANCEL SCHOOL! BUY FIREWOOD! Well, count us among the freak-outers, I guess. In a good way … Continue reading
2013 in Photos

Trash Man
Every Monday morning, at 7:30, the trash man picks up our garbage. Mo is always there, without fail, to watch and wave. He always, without fail, waves back… just before he hops back on to ride to the next house. … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Andy!
I’m afraid that since Mo’s birthday will forever be the day after Andy’s birthday, we’ll make a bad habit of glossing over his special day. So, my love, here’s a blog post all for you, complete with your very own … Continue reading
