How do you sum up 13 years with our sweet Buddy boy, who was such a vital part of our family? Our Buddy passed away today.

We got Buddy when Chris and I were just starting our life together, before we were even married. He was there for everything… our early years, our move from Boston, our first home, and then the biggest chapters of all, bringing our babies home to him. He has been with Blair and CJ their entire lives. They have never known a home without him.

He watched our family grow… welcoming another dog, learning to share his space (and his bed) with our cat Larry, and somehow always remaining the steady, gentle, loving heart of it all.

Buddy was the kind of dog everyone hopes for… loyal, patient, and unbelievably sweet. The kind who makes a house feel like a home. The kind who leaves paw prints on your heart that never fade.

He was so special to us, he even made his way into my first children’s book… which feels so fitting, because he truly was part of our story.

We love you, Buddy.
Thank you for every moment, every memory, every bit of love you gave.

We will miss you more than words can say. 🐾🤍

Happy Easter 🤍

Every year, we do this… and somehow it becomes even more special.

The same little hands holding the softest bunnies, the same giggles, the same excitement… but the kids are a little older, a little taller, and I feel just a little more aware of how fast it’s all going.

These bunny photos at have become one of our favorite traditions. The kind you don’t realize matters so much until you look back and see the years changing in front of you.

If you missed it this year, save this for next spring. It’s one of those simple things that ends up meaning everything.

More from church and brunch today to come… but I couldn’t wait to share these 🤍
