Our master bathroom, currently

This year I learned about life.

This year, I saw life come firsthand, and I’ve been watching it leave. I have felt it come in like a lion, roaring, and witnessed it going out like a lamb—softly, slowly.

Our baby registry - passes and fails

I’ve now had over two months with Grace to know what things I’m so happy I had on hand for her arrival, what things I’ve since Amazon Prime’d at 4am, and what things I probably could have gone without.
