Bo, you’re the clearest reason I know where I’m going, even when I don’t.
You changed the entire scale of our lives and your mother and I will love you with everything we have, for as long as we exist.
You’re our favourite kind of loud and our favourite kind of mess.
Happy 4th Birthday my darling boy.
I love you so, so very much.
We’ve been through it all over these last 8 years. Highest highs, the lowest lows. Ebbs, flows, ups and downs.
At the beginning and end of it all, there’s always been you.
With our chaos around us, it only felt right.
I love you @christie_lohr
I love my job. I walk into every single day on set, knowing that I get to spend it running around with a bunch of my dear friends. It’s chaos, it’s hilarious, it’s fucking ridiculous, it’s amazing and I’m so grateful to do what I do. Best job in the world.
These last few weeks have been busy though and when things are busy, Christie shoulders more than her fair share of the workload.
Today was the first time in a while that Christie and I found an hour to leave the house together for no real reason at all - just because we wanted to. Balancing moments like these with a toddler hasn’t always been easy and even though we only had about an hour today - I wouldn’t have traded that one single hour for anything.
That hour that I spent with my perfect family.
The joy and amazement that our little boy felt in this moment - his first time meeting Santa - blew our hearts all over this universe.
Today is only for him from now on.
Merry Christmas everyone.
You’ve sacrificed so much of your own ambition to keep this family moving forward and I’m so grateful for you. Whether it’s Bo’s skinned knees, or my neurotic anxieties and imposter syndrome, you seem to hold us all up with the same immeasurable grace and patience that’s so woven into your very being.
You make everything possible.
This flight home can’t end soon enough.
I love you to no end.
This picture might not look like much but this is Christie, singing “Silent Night”, in March, to our crying baby boy for the 7th time in a row. With all her heart, without hesitation, without complaint, again and again. To me this picture means everything.
Whatever decisions and mistakes I’ve made in my life that led me to this moment - sitting in a packed car with a crying boy, listening to the love of my love sing Christmas carols in a fairy lineup in the spring - all seem worth it.
This family is so grateful for you @christie_lohr .
We love you endlessly. Happy Birthday
These last 9 days, I’ve been down in Mexico City, shooting one of the biggest campaigns of my professional career. When I landed there, I was taken to my hotel and before settling in, I started to unpack. I opened up my duffle and it turns out that Christie had stuffed one of Bo’s onesies and one of Betty’s bowties into my bag. I hung them up in my closet and looked at them every day.
I have the best job in the world - and I’m so grateful that I get to do something that I genuinely love and that I’m kinda ok at, but being away from my Christie, Bowie and Betty really drove home how lucky I am to have this perfect little family.
Getting home on Family Day long weekend felt pretty right.
Happy Family Day, everyone.
2022 was nearly impossible at times and learning how to be a dad was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m nowhere near a professional at it and I’m not sure I’ll ever be, but being Bowen’s dad is the best job I’ve ever booked.
2021 gave us our boy and on December 21st, 2022, he turned 1.
Over this past year, Bo and Christie have taught me more about myself and about my personal self worth than I’ve ever been able to manage on my own.
My little family - Christie, Bowie and Betty will forever be my ground.
This year is already looking pretty alright.
Happy Bowie Day.

Plane trips, road trips, boat trips. Dates, darts, pandemics, laughs, loss, fear, excitement, anxiety, support, trust, unbridled love and plenty of wine.
6 years in, the rest of our lives to go.
Couldn’t have come as far without you beside me, @christie_lohr
I’ll love you always.
Happy Anniversary Mama.
We ran out of the house like the Griswolds this morning. About an hour late and with only about 40 percent of the shit that we needed for this trip.
But we got here.
To this island, to this cabin and to this couch.
We’ve got wine, Hawkin’s cheezies and our whole family here and it’s the only way Christie wanted to spend her birthday.
I’m so infinitely grateful to get to spend it beside her and this little pack we’ve built.
Happy birthday @christie_lohr
I love you.
