Today is Beau’s 6th birthday! In the past year he has started kindergarten, and he’s trending towards finishing it, too.
Beau also got his own bedroom this year, where he triumphantly claimed the top bunk for 3 nights before triumphantly reclaiming the more familiar bottom bunk.
Beau has also graduated to no-lid cups, which has given him a newfound appreciation for towels.
Beau is playful, emotional, curious, and sincere. Erica and I are so grateful for the adventure of being his parents.
Happy 6th, Beau!
A weekend of jams kicks off tonight!

Happy 9th birthday to Jack! Against our best wishes, he refuses to stop growing up. He’s the only 3rd grader with a full beard (not pictured), he has a 401k, and we’re pretty sure he voted in the local elections last year.
Luckily, our love for him has grown at the same pace.
Happy birthday, buddy!

Jack competed valiantly in the ice cream eating contest at the annual Utica Ice Cream Festival. He wasn’t the champion, but the real prize is the brain freeze we get along the way.
Beau is 5 years old today! He is a sensitive and silly little guy, and his zest for life is only eclipsed by his intense distaste for compromise. Life with Beau is an adventure, and we’re here for it! Happy 5th birthday buddy, we love you!
On this day in 2017, Erica and I welcomed Jack to the world. As the years pass, he has accumulated many titles:
Big brother
Loyal friend
Little league player (aka infield rock collector)
Music lover
Pokémon enthusiast
4-star Uber driver
Drone pilot
…and many more.
However, the title we cherish the most is loving son. He’s smart, sweet, funny, and curious, and we love him to infinity.
Happy 8th birthday, Jack!
