We're pulling out the beach towels, prepping the house for a graduation party, and I’m realizing anew the reality of white freckles. Yes, it’s a thing and my legs are covered in them, something I tend to forget every year until the weather warms up again. Welcome to almost summer!

Hanging out in the backyard with our grown-ish children.

April brought some clouds of sorrow to our lives but here in May we’re seeing some life bloom again. It’s a good time of year for a personal update, a human check-in, a proof of life. As we continue to be human together, here are some highlights on what’s going on around here. So let’s get into it, bullet-point style.
