New Year's fireworks in the yard and little boys that were a tad bit scared...

I’m so grateful for the other adults in my daughter’s life. Since we live on the road, these people’s presence ebbs and flows and they get to spend concentrated amount of time with some of them. Antonio and Pascale are some of these important adults in our girls’ lives (and great friends!). They have contributed to so many great discussions with our girls and are always eager to offer them learning opportunities. I feel incredibly fortunate that we get to spend time with them and their sweet boys every year.
