and we’re back… and completely leaning into maternity leave.

life is pefect chaos: toys and books everywhere, barking at everything, bottles and milk cups galore, our new normal. we are very grateful for wine, happy hour, takeout for dinner, early bedtimes, and our incredible family and friends who have showed up to visit, taken every call, and been ready for every text; our hearts are so full.

little man is doing really well, and while he’s tiny, he’s mighty and a fighter. as we breath a sigh of relief, we’re taking advantage of our days with maya at daycare to keep the house organized and figure out our new normal. i’m reading as many books as possible, walking every time the weather allows, and snuggling my little guy.

maya is such a sweet little caretaker, helping whenever she can with baby brother, practicing on her stuffed lion, taking full advantage of any opportunities for snacks, and running around outside for as long as we let her.

with spring just coming out, we’re living for the cherry blossoms all around our neighborhood, and can’t wait for the rest of the blooms to come. with warm weather on the horizon, we are planning so many adventures, big and small, for our little fam, including pizza dates, parks, and the zoo.

we’re excited for the weekend, with warm weather on tap for at least one day, to adventure around as a family of four, and disconnecting a bit as a family of four.
