Our little guy is nine today!
Finn is the perfect mix of silly and sweet, he gives the best hugs, he loves huge, and he finds so much joy in little things.
We are so lucky to have the baby Finn in our lives…happy birthday sweet boy! We love you more than words can say!

It’s been a long day for our girl- another blood t

It’s been a long day for our girl- another blood transfusion, an allergic reaction to the blood and extra meds that left her completely wiped out. But still she smiles through it all.

Tonight we rest, hoping tomorrow brings a little more color, a little more energy, and a lot more comfort. ♥️♥️

Only one little costume went out the door this Hal

Only one little costume went out the door this Halloween. 🎃

Our teenagers stayed close to home like last year, and even though Paisley had her cute little cat costume planned out months ago, her body had other plans. The same way it did when it came time to decorate for Christmas — she watched from the couch, bundled up and smiling through the fatigue, while we tried to keep the sparkle alive for her. Her little body is just too tired and unwell.

There’s something about watching one child carry on traditions while another battles just to get through the day that breaks your heart in a way words can’t quite hold.

It’s a strange thing — how joy and ache can share the same space, how traditions can move forward even when a piece of your heart sits still.

Right now, we’re holding onto hope — believing her sparkle isn’t gone, just resting. 💫
And trusting that one day soon, she’ll be right back in the middle of the magic, where she belongs. ♥️

We always look forward to our family dinners with these people who make family feel easy.
The kind of laughter that fills our house and hearts that always makes room for our kids.
Grateful for the family who chooses to stay close and make these memories with us.
