Happy 4th of July 2024!

There is so much awry in our country and world right now — from politics, to social norms, to everything else — that makes our blood pressure high and boil. But, if you pause with me, breathe for a moment, and then push all the external things aside just for a very few moments … we can think clearer and hone in on the things we’re thankful for that we often take for granted or don’t see at all. One of those at the top of the list should be (for everyone) is holidays like 4th of July, Veteran’s day, and Memorial day. These are founding or pivotal moments in our nation’s past that we should recognize and honor pride, sincerity, and respect.

With that said and the Worldly “noise” aside, Happy 4th of July to you and your family! Be safe, smart, and thankful.


Little did Danielle or I know, but a couple short weeks after the last post of mine in late May, Elijah “Eli” was born a little early (but totally healthy and all that). Let’s fast forward a few more weeks (yep, I’m still bad at blogging consistently 🙃) and we have a 3 week old! Dang, time flies so fast. We’re already seeing some beautiful chemistry between Zeke and Eli (sure, they’ll bop each other in due time lol). Here are a handful of cute pictures we took in their 4th of July outfits.

Can’t wait to see their (and our) relationships flourish as time goes on. Cherishing these beautiful moments and memories. Yes, even the we hours in the morning with poopie diapers 😁.

Until next time,

Andrew
