End of an era but the best is yet to come. Welcome to your twenties my (not so) babies!

I will never take these moments for granted. Watching your child battle an injury is never easy—seeing them face their lowest points and feeling helpless, especially when they’re miles away. For those that didn’t know, Trinity was in a boot the entire month of December with a stress reaction in her left foot…which meant no dancing until fully cleared on 1/7. Witnessing her push through the pain, the doubt, and come out stronger, more determined than ever, is something I’ll carry with me forever. I am beyond grateful that she’s surrounded by a team and coaches who offer unwavering support, guidance, and belief, helping her push through even the toughest moments. Seeing her step onto the stage at UDA Nationals for the first time ever is a memory I’ll never forget. And then, to watch her not just compete, but WIN a National Championship… there are no words to fully capture the pride and awe I feel. I wish I could explain the insane amount of talent that we had the privilege of watching all weekend. The perseverance, dedication, hard work, and, above all, heart, that these athletes, coaches and choreographers pour into everything they do is truly incredible. You ALL are an inspiration.

Don’t waste it. ❤️ #christmassurprise #makingeverysecondcount

I will forever cherish these photos… The joy in this moment was a gift. #mmmday #icanstillhearherlaugh

30 YEARS. 10,950 days. 262,800 hours. 15,768,000 minutes. 4 incredible children. Many wonderful friends. Countless memories. So thankful for all of it, especially for this ONE beautiful life we get to go through TOGETHER.

Can’t wait to see all the good things this life has in store for you both! I know you are ready to fly! Happy 19 my loves! #bakertwins #thisis19 #birdlaunchernotemptynester

It was a pretty crazy and special week! #lasthoco #thatsmytwin

It’s crazy how the inevitable “firsts” and “lasts” can bring so much joy and heartache at the same time… #senioryear #lastfirstday
