If we’re going to be sick we might as well make it fun. My first attempt at doing yard work with Pete. It lasted about 10 minutes before we lost interest. We’ll take what we can take. Also, we were very aware and alert of the traffic. Please don’t shame me. @emmyism #freelabor #imjoking

Eleven years of photos and so many of them look the same — you, a few steps ahead of me, that New Yorker stride carrying you forward while I try to keep up.
At first it was just a funny quirk. Now it means everything.
Because that’s just who you are. You’ve always been out front — leading our family, holding things together, knowing which way to go. There’s something I never expected to feel in a partnership, and that’s the quiet comfort of knowing that you’re taken care of. You’ve got it. You’ve always had it.
So here’s to you, the woman perpetually a half-block ahead of me in every sense of the word. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
I love you. Happy Birthday @emmyism !

We made it a point to see the sights bright and early, and it made all the difference. The calm in the streets and temples before the crowds arrive is pretty incredible.
I promise — it’s worth it.

We quickly learned Japan is one of the coolest places to get lost in… especially when you’re traveling with amazing people.

🐾 My best buddy Myko 🐾 This one hurts. Your zoomies, your ball obsession, your howl, your eyes and floppy ears, the way we used to play keep away, and the way you always knew when we needed your snuggles the most. You were such a good boy. The best boy. You weren’t here for a long time but my goodness did you make it count. We’ll see you again big guy ❤️
We’re beyond excited to share that Shape of Hope has been officially selected for this year’s Santa Cruz Film Festival! 🌊✨
It’s a true honor to have this story featured in such a meaningful place. Our hope is that this documentary captures even a fraction of the beauty, spirit, and resilience found in both the stunning landscapes and the wonderful people of Santa Cruz.
At its heart, this film is also about the power of reclaimed materials—and the reminder that we can always do better in how we care for each other and the world around us. ♻️💙
