Three Years

It’s three years since our wedding day…. here we are retracing a bit of our honeymoon trip with our little boy. It’s our first little vacation with just our little family — though it’s only a four-day break from reality, we’re feeling so thankful and in awe… amazed by the amazing scenery around Monterey Bay…. amazed that we live just hours from it… amazed that we’re so lucky to have each other, and amazed at the little traveler we have on our hands!

Fletcher is now 14 months old, and incredible. I know we’re biased, but he is. He’s very observant — every day he’s surprising me with the things he is picking up. For example, he’ll find something he knows I don’t want him to have, like my phone… when I ask for it back, he will start to bring it to me, then take it back…. when I insist for it, he’ll hand me something else, like his favorite toy of the moment, as barter. He’s noticed that I try to pull the same switcheroo on him. So smart. He’s talking more and more — a lot of it is jibberish, but we’re starting to hear real words come out of the jibberish, even if they are just his own version of the word. He loves music and dancing — he and Keaton are quite the dancing fools. And despite the new phase he’s entering of instant temper tantrums and squawking to tell us he wants something (it’s obnoxious), he’s actually really patient and good at entertaining himself. This road trip alone has proven it — he’s kept right up with us on the long drives and the walking tours and the restaurants… what a good boy.

It’s been a long time since I’ve last updated this, for no good reason. Life has been moving along, and is actually really wonderful right now. Working more from home and being with Fletcher the majority of the week has made me incredibly happy. I finally feel balanced. I’m not sure what the future will hold, but I’m confident I can keep enough income coming in to make this work.

Life is good. We both feel incredibly lucky.
