Happy Birthday

We are one year in. It seems like a lifetime ago that I was holding a newborn in my arms and feeling completely lost. This joy of a person has brought so much change to our lives, so much beauty, so much uncertainty. We celebrate this day for her, for us, for our little family.

Fall Cycling

We got Esme a bike seat for her first birthday (more on that soon) and so we took it out for a ride in the beautiful fall sun. Esmé had fun, but Kyle was like a kid on Christmas morning. He ran outside, kid tucked under one arm, helmet under the other, giggling the whole time with excitement. I'm not sure how much Esmé took in since she spent most of the ride trying to pull off her helmet.
